Girth Comparaison of Animals

[Spalea]

@Pckts :

About #131: I just took @P.T.Sondaica back when he told at #127 "I think we compare chest girth in same weight thats is right because thats is same size".

What is size ? Weight, body dimensions thus length or shoulder height  ?

Initial condition: the tiger is a full adult tiger (Bengal or Amur tiger).

If both (tiger and bear) have the same weight the tiger will be the longest and the bear will have the biggest chest girth. I only try to logically reason according to the morphology. If the bear, less long, weighs as much as the tiger, his body would seem to be more compact, i.e. bigger chest girth (and greater shoulder height).

If both have the same length, so I suppose the bear would be a big Kodiak (or a very big grizzly) or polar bear. So, no use to contest that the ursid would have a noticeably greater chest girth.

If both have the same shoulder height, we're in front of a small brown bear and then we could have a heavier tiger having a greater chest girth.

So without wishing discriminate the tiger at all, in my mind a normally adult brown bear would have a greater chest girth than an adult tiger.

I only wanted to answer to P.T.sondaica, absolutely not to add further confusion over the matter. Reply
