Robert Paddle (2000, p. 4), in his book: The Last Tasmanian Tiger, quotes an average direct length for an adult male thylacine as 1.63m, and an adult female as 1.54m. The average male body length measurement as cited by Paddle is consistent with the sample group.
Its length from head to tail is 3m and its height is 90-100 inches. The weight of female Sumatran tiger varies from 85 to 110kg. The length of female tiger from head to tail is 2.2m and its average height is 85 inches. All these tiger species are under the threat of extinction.
