Girth Comparaison of Animals

I just posted the first tiger I found facing forward. Besides, your "robust" choices are little better; not in the same league as a grizzly. 
You want to compare the girth of a seven-foot-tall tiger with that of a six-foot-tall grizzly. What's the point? Have you ever heard of fair play?

But a 6-ft tall grizzly is as heavy as a 7-ft tall tiger, latter with a slightly longer HBL and flexible spine. Aren't we comparing at weight parity here (at least I am)?

At equal weight, tiger would have a higher muscle %, longer body, comparable in height, thicker lower arm, similar hindleg thickness, greater bite force and probably pulling strength. Bear would have greater strength in upper arm, neck, core, shoulders, and thicker in those areas too, pushing/shoving strength. That is at weight parity.

At size parity, the bear would equal the tiger in HBL measurement (idk about height) and would be greater in most measurements. I normally go by weight in all of my comparisons instead of size.

To each their own, though. Reply
