I'm thinking pound for pound same length the tiger isn't heavier.

I think, that the size-difference aint that distinct & overlaps, while the stature-difference is more so... (See pics in last post)


My opinion on weight, i explained thouroughly in the previous post.

Ok, well let me ask you this, do you guys have any records of captive Siberians or tigers weighing over 900 lbs, that are proven to be not neutered?  And I ask that because Ive seen guys posting 1000lb Siberians like its normal, and honestly most are not verified and some look exceptional fat and neutered. I know one verified 900 lb lion that was officially weighed in court, not neutered. Several others exist but hard to verify them.

Just ran into this quote from a poster on another site,

"The source on the 857 lb tiger showed it had fed on a half grown buffalo. Not sure if the lion was gorged or not, and it is unwise to assume. But....it was never indicated, anyways. The 313 kg lion was weighed several times as evidence to the great weight. The tiger wasn`t.....even the Smithsonian Data Manager, Craig Ludwig, who sent me the document on the 857 lb tiger indicated he doubts this is an authentic 857 lb, even if with a heavy meal in his stomach. Over 200 lbs heavier than any of the other tigers in the area at the time. Craig doubts the reliability of the scale.

Many lions were recorded at 250 kg or more. I can think of 3 or 4 272 kg lions off the top of my head, from reliable sources." Reply
