Why captive Bengals are smaller than Wild Bengals?

[parvez]

I think tigers in wild are free roaming, they live to their satisfaction dominating almost every animal that comes their way except tourists and guards. They also eat a lot in the wild. Whereas in captivity, they see only humans. They do not have any need to wander and be busy with their works physically which improves muscle mass. Hence, there is no stress but lesser food and motivational force that gives betterment in terms of muscle mass. And they can’t dominate humans as they are in enclosures and even if there are no enclosures humans will shoot them outright.
