ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[Betty]

In June 2011, a 10-year-old male Siberian tiger rescued by the Wildlife Rescue Center of Hunan Province died because of its malignant lymphoma of the digestive tract. Its body was used to make specimens and it was measured before making specimens.

The measurement results are as follows:

Tba.1

Head circumference 95cm, 
head length 47cm, 
head width 32cm, 
mouth length 14cm, 
canine teeth length 4cm.

Tba.2

head and body length 208cm, 
tail length 100cm, 
rear foot length 27cm, 
ear length 10cm, 
forelimb height 46cm,
chest width 55.6cm, 
eye length 3cm, 
eye distance 11.5cm, 
eye and ear distance 17cm, 
Split mouth length 12cm, 
chest circumference 150cm,
waist circumference 145cm, 
shoulder height 117cm,
hips height 112cm, 
weight 146kg.




According to my understanding， when a Chinese zoo or a rescue center measures the shoulder height of an animal, it is measured from the scapula to the pad，I have never seen data from the scapula to the tip of the claw.
