Measurements of a young adult lion:

Check the video first:

Two screenshot of the head-body length measurement, altough the measurement in the video is actually from the neck-body union to the end of the hip, not the roth of the tail:

We can see that they follow the "straight line" method, but they follow other points of union, not the "nose to tail" method of other scientists. Check now the chest girth:

They only take half of the grith and extrapolate.

Again, is obvious that the methods used by scientists depent of them, they may have read books about methods to measure animals in the field, but at the end, each one had they own form. In few words it is clear that the "standard method" is the group of measurements (total length, head-body, tail, chest, etc...) and not just the form that they are taken. THIS is "crystal clear" based in the collection of videos and images that I posted here.
