ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[Kingtheropod]

@peter, thank you

I will admit, I excluded a few giants. If they had been included, it would have raised the average up a bit.

I recently however found this report of a tiger from Potter Park Zoo named Ivan which died of failing health was stated to have weighed 550 lb in his prime according to his veterinarian. He died at age 20 in 2003. I've contacted them and I may add this.
