Title: Digitigrade height?
Post by: Scani on February 06, 2005, 12:44:36 am
So, since obviously walking on your toes adds a couple of inches to your height, the poll question is... How tall are you... when you stand on your toes in a digitigrade fashion, like most furs?

This poll refers to your mundane selves, although you can apply this to your fursonas if you wish. A series of ranges have been provided, but feel free to post the actual figure here.

For me, 6'4" - I'm 6'2" plantigrade.

(Gives me a few inches over my characters :cool:)

I don't know my hight but I only gain about 3/4 inch because I tend to bend my knees.

Pretty much the same, because I bend my knees to keep a comfortable balance, although I do prop myself over the 6'0" mark (because I'm 182cm and 6' is 183cm).

Although, I can walk around on the tips of my toes, then I'm 6'3" :D

I'm 5'11" plantigrade, never measured digitigrade, but it'd probably take me up to at least 6 foot.

Platinigrade my mundane self is about 5' 10".  Digitigrade I've not measured but figuring an avarage increse of 2" I would be up to 6'.

waah!!!  I... feel... SHORT!!!   :cry:   :D

I'm only 5'5" normally.  In digitigrade stance (which I'm in a lot), I'm the pretty well the same cuz I bend my knees, I lean forward slightly, and I have only mid sized feet.  I know foxes are really small compared to other animals, but darnit this stinks.  damn being short!!!  well, at least my bulky built like a rock appearace makes up for it.  :D

Wow!  :shock: Furs are not only getting younger...
they are getting TALLER!

This ponyfox is 5'3" when flatfooted... which is almost never.
I am around 5'5" on tiptoe... which I tend to walk on.  (My toes that is.)

Edited due to premature ejacpostation.
Had not listed my height.

Mrrhmm lesse, I'm 5'3" flatfooted and 5'6" digitigrade. Wow three inches...and that's not an estimate. I actually went off and measured it as soon as I saw this topic.

We need to start a 'petite paws' group for all us under 5'5" furs!
And after all, aren't the shorter furs the cutest... foxes, rabbits, cats, dogs, ponies (ie minis) etc.

Plantigrade - 5'9.5
So probably... Digitigrade - 5'11.5

I'll edit this when I can FIND MAH BLOODY MEASURER-THING.

I'd say I'm almost 6' in digitgrade since I'm 5' 10" plantigrade.

Although I'm not actually short, my younger brother is taller than I am so I feel your pain, petite furs  (:

Heh. That's actually not a bad idea. And yes we are cute. It's hard to be cute if you're a giant. Power to the short people!  (:

Post by: Jenahfriya on February 18, 2005, 02:09:36 am
I'm roughly 5'5" plantigrade, so I'd guess I'm probably 5'7" digitigrade. I walk on my toes most of the time, but I've never thought to actually measure my height that way.
Title: Digitigrade height?
Post by: Abe on February 18, 2005, 03:25:55 am
Actually now that I think about it:

I'm probably around the same height in the end. When I walk digitigrade I kinda lean over a bit, so in the end, maybe an inch or so taller.

Digitgrade, no clue. My feet are small, so It' couldn't make that big of a difference.

My normal hieght is 5 feet 11 inches.
My fursona is 4 feet 5 inches.

I only go from about 6'0" to 6'1" switching from plantigrade to digitigrade. I can't balance unless my knees are bent.
