Mollinedo also said the dry moat between the wall and the tiger exhibit is 33 feet, not 20 feet as originally reported. The wall, he said, is 12 and a half feet, not 18 feet. The exhibit was built in 1940, he said.

This tiger jumped accross a moat 33 feet wide and up 12 feet.

According to one expert, "Siberian tigers have a long reach, and can stretch 12 feet from toe to toe, but when they're leaping, the waistline of their body doesn't get much farther than five to eight feet off the ground." source

So how did this feller go nearly 3 times what it can reach and up 50% higher then what it's suppose to?
