I actually looked closer that how perspective/projection have effect and I take back a little bit what I said. I took some photos with an obstacle and one boot in front of it and one behind. Still I feel safe to say, that this tiger has more snow under feet than this woman and in those cases, when it is really close to fence it is 5-10 cm higher than that woman. That combined to projection, which "lifts" its shoulders in comparison with that woman is a difficult combination and creates easily an illusion even bigger animal, than it is.

Just for curiosity I tried again to get some estimation what it might be, my best guess/estimation is something around 110 cm shoulder height. If that woman really is 180 cm tall, I wonder where that information is from? If someone knows that, then maybe also could tell what zoo and tiger this is. It would be really nice to get more information, because I am curious how close my estimation is or is it at all. Maybe I have to find similar footage from some other animal, which is well know with measurements :) Reply
