Girth Comparaison of Animals
|
At equal head-and-body length, the grizzly is much thicker and heavier - greater girth.
If we were comparing a reticulated python to a green anaconda in a comparison of girth, we would compare them at equal length; thus find which is thicker and heavier - the anaconda. No difference in comparing tiger with grizzly. Comparing at weight-parity in an effort to compare girth makes absolutely not one shred of sense. Ridiculous to even consider. *If you don't think it fair; blame God. If you don't believe in God, blame evolution or blame genetics. But the grizzly has the tiger beat in girth.

No difference in comparing tiger with grizzly.Numerous differences between this comparison and the Bear/Big Cat comparison. 1. Snakes are of the same species not Like a Bear v. Cat. 2. Snakes don't have a neck, chest or limbs so what else could you compare. 3. A Reticulated Python would be longer while a Anaconda would be shorter and heavier, of course a heavier, shorter snake will have more girth than a longer snake that weighs less, where else would the weight distribute? If you were to compare a Gabon Viper to a Anaconda lets say, you could then do it by extrapolating the weight of the viper or length, but either way is a different comparison. We are comparing a Full Grown Bear @ 200kg to a Full Grown Cat @ 200kg, hence why the comparison is lb for lb. "But the grizzly has the tiger beat in girth." It certainly does, I have never said it doesn't but when equal weights or lengths at times, the Tiger has some individuals that out match the Grizzly while other individuals even at equal weights will surpass any Tiger specimens you can find. So in closing, like I have said numerous times, the outliers for the Grizzly will far exceed the outliers for Tigers but depending on the sub species, there are Tigers that will have more girth in any department than a Grizzly of comparative weight but more often the Grizzly is the winner in this department.
Grizzly and Tiger: each Carnivora - each standing on four legs. Are they built differently? Yes; the grizzly has greater girth. And; comparing girth at weight-parity is a meaningless endeavor.

It's a personal preference used to put two different species on an even playing field. 
Looks like we reached a conclusion...grizzly has greater chest/neck girth than big cats at ANY parity.

Our discussion was lb for lb to start, then it spiraled to which measurement is better for determining a "fair comparison." But the only thing I was curious about is how they compared at a lb for lb.
@Pckts, we reached the consensus that the bears have a greater cheat/neck girth on average than the tiger in both weight and length parity (most likely at any parity as well), but that some of the specimens you presented could have the lower-end of the bears presented beat in chest/neck girth. @
But the only thing I was curious about is how they compared at a lb for lb.... which would be a tiger measuring perhaps seven feet in head-and-body length compared to a bear measuring six feet or less; a smaller animal. This is your idea of a fair comparison in your endeavor to make the tiger either equal to or greater than the bear in girth. Why?
Ok in this thread if bear bigger size(weight) they have more girth than tiger but in same size adult animal(weight) tiger have more bigger girth neck or chest than bear..
