In Biology, "largest" is normally related with body mass, so the heaviest male wild tiger and male wild lion are the next ones:


Heaviest tiger - Nepal - 272 kg+ - 260 kg empty:

Heaviest lion - Namibia - 260 kg - 240 kg empty:

Of course there are other records, like the cattle-killer of 272 kg from Kenya, and a huge tiger of 288 kg from India, but the first one is an outlier that gorged from cattle and the second is confirmed but still not published. So, for the moment, I will stick to the records that I showed here to you.
