Also, Guggisberg, in his book, wild cats of the world, mentions two siberian tigers, by william G. Morden, that weighed 550 and 480 lbs, respectively. The longer specimen measured 10.8 ft in length, over curves, and the other 9.5 ft, between pegs. Guggisberg also mentions a tiger measured by two scientists, kaplanov and Abramov, that measured 2.60 m, or 9ft in length, his head and body length being 6ft (1.72 m), his tail, 3 ft (88 cm). I hope this helps.
The average of these tigers then, would be about 183 kg or so, or about the size of most lion populations, perhaps a bit smaller.
@Animalfightclubs I don't know about that.There's a difference between hunting & fighting.Tigers like to stalk & strike.But when it comes to close quarters combat,I think the Lion is superior.Look at some of the clips on here of Tigers vs Lions.The Lion actually fights like a trained boxer.Plus a male Lions mane offers protection against neck bites.As far as hunting goes,I'd take the Tiger over the Lion,but I've seen video analysis showing the Lion to be a more skilled fighter

I have to give it to the tiger. On average he's bigger, and he's definitly more competent. Tigers do their own hunting.
