I think the big Siberian tigers we hear about are mainly captive ones that have been selectively bred from exceptionally large tigers, and that in the wild Bengal tigers are bigger than Siberian ones or at least are of the same size.

Maybe Siberian tigers were just over glorified in size, same way the size of the Baraby lion was too overestimated. 

But I'm no expert and that's just my personal opinion, which is most likely wrong. So I'd be happy if you correct me.

You are correct bengal tigers are the biggest modern wild cats on earth . The average of amur tigers was slightly bigger in the past than today. However there are "realible"( not confirmed at all ) weights of amur tigers to up to 300+ kilo in the past mazak for example quote some of them bengal tigers reached that weights too. The biggest ever lived wild cat was a bengal tiger and they were and are the biggest on average . At least from my knowledge . Peter pckts guate grizzlyclaws and co knows more about that. They can give youthe data you want to know. Reply
