Claimed to be 9’4” over the curves and 230kg which obviously she’s not so I’m not sure where that weight is from.

Yeah I dont believe in those numbers, just shared as it shows how they measure bigcats now a days.

From what I can hear, they were in a hurry and just because someone requested them to take the measurements, they allowed it. They skipped the paws. Most probably didn't weigh her either. 

The measuring tape was 60" with a couple of extra inches left on the end. Tigress's body took the whole tape and still a few inches were left I believe. Give or take 67" or 170.2 cm for the body and as they said in the video, 23" / 58.4 cm for the tail. Total being 90" / 228.6 cm. Tail at 23" / 58.4 cm is quite short. Couldn't get the shoulder height. 

Edit: This is weird. I rewatched it and in the first go, they actually measured her total length to be about 102" / 259.1 cm. First the body which took whole length of the tape and couple of extra inches (63"), then kept a finger on the point they left at, then measured again which added 39". I took 39" from when then tail was on ground. They proceeded to pick the tail up to measure it which I think might have created an error. Then the tail measured separately gave 23" / 58.4 cm. 

Subtracting tail length from the total length, the body would be 79" / 200.7 cm.

No Tigress will be 200cm in HBL Reply
