Almost looks like a tiger.  (02-12-2019, 06:11 AM)Rishi Wrote: The shoulder heights are odd! Actually, like the image says, these are not standing height. Check this:  *This image is copyright of its original author These are lengths from shoulder to tip of paw, just like the measurements taken by Dr Smuts in South Africa. That is why you see heights of up to 120 cm for lions, the often quoted heigh is not a real standing height. I don't know why the people don't see this if Smuts say it clearly in his document, even Dr Sunquist fall in this error.

I'm still curious what the correct deduction is for the "actual standing height" But I do think it's the better way to measure just because Cats are obviously not standing at the time of capture and to interpret paw position would lead to too many discrepancies. I'm sure they measured the same way for MB2 when he quoted the height of 125cm. Sounds like that may be the common practice in India.
To be honest, I have not saw a shoulder measurement of Bengal tigers in modern documents, but some from Sumatran tigers are taken in that same way. From Russia one video shows that they take it in sections, not in one take.
Check this topic: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-for-waverider?page=3 The way how they measure the leopard height should be the correct one. This is also described by Brander.
It is always a good day seeing photos of lions in senegal.
