That is not as far or as high as a tiger can jump. That is as far and as high as that tiger needed to jump to get the meat and please the humans. A domestic pussycat can jump that high and for the same reasons. Awesome to see a big cat do it though, mostly we just see them lounging around in a zoo.

Allow me to introduce to you the true terror that are tigers and their jumping abilities.
