What measurements does this comparison use?
The reference values used here are 1.9 m for Bengal tiger (Length, head and body) and 1.7 m for Adult human (Height, Selected example). The table links to background sources; natural objects and manufactured variants can differ from these reference values.
How should I read the drawing?
Bengal tiger spans about 1.6× as much as Adult human across the longest side of each drawing. This is a linear scale comparison, not a comparison of mass or volume. For maps, the table reports area; doubling a map’s width and height multiplies its area by four.
