The shoulder height of the Amur tiger being 95 cm tall, and the head-body length being 195 cm, it seems a little longer than the proportion 2, usually tigers are qround 1.85-1.93, have the height of the Amur tiger been updated? I think it should be 97-99 cm, not as short as 95 as it seems not proportional to its body length?

Good observation, and actually there is a situation there. The head-body length of the Amur tigers was measured, apparently, over curves, maybe not to exagerated as the old records, but still there should be a difference of at leas 10 cm, so the head-body straigh is about 180+ cm. In that case the shoulde height is correct, but in a video that I saw it shows that the arm of the measured tiger was not straight and was measured in sections, so that will provide an underestimation of the true height, that means that the shoulde height could be higher. But for the moment, this is the data that we have.
