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.

Anyone minds to give an opinion about this intuitive comparison?

I really don't like to touch comparisons like this but I'll do it for a friend. I matched the lower leg length of the people as a scale but people can modify these two panels as they see fit:

I read that the zookeeper is a tall woman with large frame, and the tiger was also further away.

BTW, I personally think these two animals might have the similar shoulder height.

Is there somewhere more information about that tiger and woman? I looked, that if she is Asian, probably short and that tiger then again quite normal looking. But pretty hard to say when there is no easy thing to compare reliably.

The huge Amur tiger was from a zoo of Central Europe, so the zookeeper was a tall blonde European woman.

Definitely taller than the Russian lady who stands aside of the Cave lion replica.
If that zoo keeper is 170 cm, then that tiger is about 105 cm shoulder height. I look again though and double check my calculations :)

The Russian lady looks noticeably chubbier and shorter in frame than the zookeeper, then the largest Cave lion was only about 105 cm in shoulder?

You have to take these two factors into account; the Amur tiger is farther from the camera, and the zookeeper in comparison was also a taller woman with bigger frame.

I won't be surprise if both stands a little bit over 4 feet tall at shoulder.

I made this calculation in very simple way. First I used ruler to measure height of that woman in screen. On my screen I got 135 mm, because her knees were bent a little bit and she has boots, I used a little bit "violence" and decided, that she is 180 cm in that photo. Then I just did 180:135 calculation so that I got a value, that how much one mm is in centimeters (1,33). Then I took tiger height with ruler in mm and calculated 84 x 1,33= 112 cm. And I think, that that 84 mm was fair for tiger from that photo. 

Then when thinking their position I think, that there might be a few centimeters more, but also less, because I had to make best guess about that paw. 

Of course it is possible, that it could be even 120 cm, but with this information I choose to be quite... is that conservative in estimation, when wanting to avoid exaggeration :)

From my own observation, the largest big cat (including the prehistoric ones) stand as tall as 130 cm at shoulder, when enacting with the hind legs, it is going to stand as tall as Bart the bear, but not as heavy. Bart was 1500 pounds at his prime, no big cat in the history would weigh that much.

The tiger in the video when standing on two was already prehistoric sized, you won't see the normal lion or tiger reached that kind of magnitude.
