Why captive Bengals are smaller than Wild Bengals?

I have seen a post from peter regarding this topic. Bengal tigers get smaller/bigger relative to competition (use it or lose it). Bengal tigers as peter says, were smaller a century ago than currently, that is due to the increase of tiger densities because tigers have no place to go in the wild nowadays, and are forced to fight (fighting frequency is higher). In tiger fights, size is a huge factor in who wins in fights, so larger bengals tend to make it to adulthood to reproduce. Wild Bengal tigers also grow throughout their lifetime.
