At weight-parity, the tiger is anywhere from 12 to 18 inches longer in head-and-body length, which also shows in bipedal height, making such a girth comparison void - meaningless.

Incorrect, you're confusing Total length with Head and Body length in big cats, remember the Tail which makes up 1/3 or the total length is used for big cats while bears don't have a tail or a very short one at most,

Most bears shown had equal or longer body length compared to the tigers with similar girth.
Some bears did have higher girth at shorter length and some did not, method of measurement was still unknown as well.
Comparisons aren't meaningless by definition, your preference for one comparison to another dictates your stance on the topic, we're well aware of that but your preference holds no weight as to whether one is "right or wrong," same as mine or anyone else.

I'm also curious as to why you hold so tight onto the "body length" argument but you never mention shoulder height.
Why not the same defense of having equal shoulder heights before the comparison is deemed correct in your book? Reply
