Hello. I want to ask you a question. What exactly is the shoulder height of the Wanhsien tiger? roman uchytel gives a figure like 120cm, but I don't trust that man's information at all.

Depends of the size estimation. If we guess that the largest specimen could be as large as the biggest modern tigers (skull 400 mm and head-body 220 cm), then the shoulder height will be about 110 cm. But this is just IF they reached that size, remember that dentition is problematic to estimate sizes, but the upper Pm4 of 42 mm definitelly belonged to an specimen of over 200 cm in lenght and 1 m in shoulder height.

120 cm and over in just for the biggest Ngandong tiger and the Pleistocene Borneo tiger.

Check how tall is a tiger with 110 cm in standing height:

These are real standing heights measured by Vratislav Mazák and Dr W Gewalt, in the living animal (real pictures of those specimens). Reply
