The length for the Siberian tiger is listed as 195 cm but is along the curves, right? So what would be a good length estimate for in a straight line? Is there a method?
Also the height of 95 cm I heard, is not the full height to the end of the paw from shoulder tip. So what would be a good full height?

I have noticed that the length in straight line is about 94-96% of the length over the curves so for a 195cm length over curves, the length in straight line should be about 185cm.

And one more thing is that subtracting any number from the ‘over curves length’ is not a good way to estimate the real length because if it’s a big Tiger then you’ll have to subtract more and if it’s a small Tiger then you’ll have to subtract less so subtracting a particular length will not give you the correct number.

I have noticed that a suitable relation between length over the curves and length in straight line is as follows:

Length(straight) = 0.95 x Length(curved)

Of course this can also vary many times, for example, in some Tigers it will be 0.93 and in some 0.95 but it should work better than the subtracting method. Reply
