He thinks it is 182cm. In short, the measurements of this lion may be shorter than the average, or equal to the average(straight line). Correct measurements measure is: the nose to  the sacrum near(the caudal vertebra is behind the sacrum); And the straight bone length(including pelvis) of om7935 is almost the same as that of Amur Tiger with 161kg and 191cm curve(it seems to be about 1cm shorter). Also, bones are inclined in the body of big cats, such as cervical vertebrae and hip bones, so this also needs to be reduced in length.

Much too short for a 272kg cat. Unless measurements are from the skeleton only and not from the carcass with muscle/flesh, then I'm not sure what the body dimensions would actually be. 

I remember Waveriders originally stated he had an extremely long body *estimated to be around 200cm" straight line but wasn't very tall, I believe 100cm or so if I remember correctly but his skull was massive. Generally speaking he's going to be an overweight cattle killer but still a good sized cat. Empty or not is irrelevent since his body condition should be considered to be closer to the over weight size for a wild cat.

That being said, he's not in the tier of a Lion like Kirbys for the largest free ranging Lion but he's certainly a big cat. 

If all things are valid he's probably built a lot like Wagdoh in his prime with similar body dimensions, if you know about that cat? Reply
