There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

That's minimum 10 feet to the head. or are you misunderstanding that the height an animal jumps will be calculated from the ground to its "feet" lifted from ground? It'll be calculated to the head not feet
I am strictly speaking on what is known as a "vertical jump" in a sports term. Meaning the distance your body travels vertically when jumping straight up, Measured from a standing reach to a jumping reach.
This video has been posted many times, but maybe one more time, because this is really a great one when looking at how tiger jumps vertically. It is obvious, that it can´t jump over 10 feet obstacle without touching it, not even close to that. Totally another thing, that how up it can reach of course when something is thrown for it to catch :) Anyway this jump is pure enjoy to watch, imo :)
The tigers back legs are just at head level of the other tiger, these tigers don't look exceptionally large, correct?
Assuming that is a height of 3.5 feet, I have major doubts that another 5 feet + are hiding in that vertical jump, on top of that, these are lighter specimens, itll only get harder for the heavier ones.
