There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

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. Maybe I have to find similar footage from some other animal, which is well know with measurements :)

I reply to myself :) In that video is claimed, that mean height of women in Czech Republic would be 172 cm. That is not true. I don´t think, that there is any country in the world with such mean height for women. Various sources give mean height 167 cm, what comes to women from Czech Republic. So I guess, that we have no idea about height of that woman on that video(?). She could be 160, 170 or 180 cm or anything in between.... slim woman looks taller in footage like that. I write this just to point out how difficult task it is to estimate size from footage like this, where there is nothing reliable to use as base to make estimations. And also to point out how unreliable source youtube posters are... they make many times quite inaccurate claims and looks like, that not always by accident.
