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.

Not everyone thinks like you, many newbies fall for this bias trap.
some such reputed fanboys make 300kg as a norm for tigers.
Ive seen wild tigers several times in the past. So Im knowledgeable than you think.
Ive shared some of the sources, some I didn't share, some doesnt want to be shared.
Anyways the front bonnet is not 4-5 inches taller, it may be around 2-3 inches. T28 still appeared several inches taller than the back body of the gypsy.
We can't be for certain say the tiger is in a higher ground, the gypsy behind the tiger was in straight ground. The tilt also depends on the angle the video was taken.
Also remember the tiger was behind the gypsy giving the gypsy an advantage in height.
Well now back to topic
Sultan (T72) was a very tall tiger even when he was a subadult. Here is a video of Sultan looking close to a gypsy bonnet.
Sultan seems to be in a slight higher ground but at the same time Sultan''s front limbs were bent.
