I think that you have a valid point here, as the real standing height should be a little more than the length between shoulder and wrist. However, as long as we don't have any other corroboration, those values are the closer to a real standing height, or at least, the height of the animal in motion with legs not to much streched.

The biggest problem with the shoulder height of the Northeast Tiger is that the measurer didn't pull the forelimb straight like the lion and Bengal Tiger, and it didn't measure from the shoulder to the palm pad, so some dimensions were lost. Reply
