A little more perspective
The zoo explicitly separates an approximately two-foot standing height from its longer head-to-tail body-size ranges. This scene uses the standing reference. The conversion is 0.6096 meters, but the original whole-foot description is approximate and does not identify a measured individual.
The folded-wing illustration keeps both feet visible and lets the white tail extend below their contact plane. The height anchor therefore starts above the lowest feather tip. A head-to-tail body length or an open-wing span would require different endpoints and should not replace the perched-height number.
