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.

Girth Comparaison of Animals

( This post was last modified: 04-18-2018, 10:10 AM by sanjay )

About all of the various animal shapes; IMO... when doing a comparison to determine which animal species has the greater girth, neither animal should be penalized for his body shape. I do not make a fuss over the fact that a grizzly has a longer neck than a tiger. In measuring and comparing them at equal head-and-body length, ( peg-to-peg in a straight line ) we have a fair comparison of girth. 
 
If we were talking about a face-off confrontation, then we would use neither length parity nor weight parity. We would want them at size-parity. This topic pops up so often in animal face-off debates that I have decided to give it a topic page all its own.
SIZE PARITY ... we can use tiger vs grizzly as an example.
We have numerous ideas about exactly what constitutes size parity. For some, it means weight parity. Example: 500 pound tiger vs 500 pound grizzly. However, in such a face-off, the tiger will measure at least a foot ( 31 cm ) longer in head-and-body length and in bipedal height. Another method is height-and-length parity. Example: A tiger and a grizzly each standing 7 feet tall ( 2.13 m ) bipedal in a face-off. The bear has at least a 100 pound ( 45 kg ) weight advantage. Therefore, a true size parity face-off should be a lion or tiger with a slight advantage in length and height vs a grizzly with a slight weight advantage - Two similar-sized animals. Bottom line; Mother Nature seldom arranges a fair fight.
IMO - if two animals are fighting, and which opponent is the biggest of the two fighters is not completely and overwhelmingly obvious, then you have a size-parity face-off. There is no need to weigh and measure down to the micro-millimeters or micro-milligrams. They do not have to be exactly the same size. Just use your eyes. If there is no undeniable size difference; if one opponent does not tower over the other or dwarf the other, then we have a size-parity face-off. When Muhammad Ali fought George Foreman, that was a size-parity fight. When Dwayne Johnson ( the Rock ) fought Bill Goldberg, that was a size parity fight. Brock Lesnar vs Chris Jericho is not a size-parity face off. Randy Orton vs Braun Stroman is not a size-parity face-off.
