Like two men each standing at the same height. If you were to compare a full-grown male tiger with a full-grown male grizzly, each standing seven feet tall ( a normal size for each ), I feel certain that the bear will win this contest.

Then that grizzly would be at about or near size parity relative to height. That is another thing. Size parity can be relative to any measurement, relative to length, height, limb girth, etc. Weight parity is not, weight is a defined measurement independent of size or length or whatever. This is why I compare at equal weights.

That is the assumption from my end as well, we are comparing Lb for Lb not Inch to Inch.
It's generally the only way to compare BMI of different species since weight distribution is always different amongst them, it's even different in subspecies. Reply
