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.

One thing to consider when looking that photo. That woman seems to stand quite clearly in lower level that that tiger. That paw of tiger is quite visible, compare to boots of that woman. If that tiger would be also as low as woman compared to base of that fence, that paw would be hidden behind base of fence completely.

I think this could be the same zookeeper, and the exact location if I remember correctly (read from the original poster) was likely Czech Republic.

According to the orignal poster, the zookeeper's height was about 180 cm.

With height 180 cm for that zoo keeper I get shoulder height 112 cm for that tiger. It is difficult to say how much it effects, that tiger is a little bit different place, distance is still quite small... Anyway if that woman is 180 cm, then my best guess for that tiger is 110-115 cm shoulder height.

When standing with hind legs, he looks at least as tall as Hercules, but with a more robust built frame.

That tiger is very robust looking, that is clear. Of course when that tiger stands on hind legs, it is already with 15 cm advantage because it stands that much higher ground there. But big tigers are about 8 feet on hind legs(?), it might be that size. I check if some estimation is possible from some still picture.

Actually, the zookeeper did stand on the higher ground when the tiger was standing on two.

You can review that video again.

This screenshot is just a moment before tiger raises to hindlegs, at that point view goes higher too.

In this video, the zookeeper was standing on a wooden board or something, so she stood on a higher ground than the giant tiger.

When she was like 20 inches off the ground, she still can barely reach tiger's throat.
