Wanhsien tiger ~

[Wolverine]

If it was much smaller than 500 kg it will just not survive in tiger habitat I think.
I have red an opinion that if tropical forests of Africa are inhabited by tiger sized predator gorillas can not survive. Among leopards they succeed to survive but even such not so big cat could possess an extreme danger, more especially during the night when the majority of the primates are helpless and the cats are in their element. If theoretically we introduce tiger-sized predator in African forest gorillas have 3 choices - a.) they have to enlarge to Gigantopitechus size, b.) to get smaller like chimps and orangutans, guit the ground level and start to inhabit predominantly the crowns of the trees or c.) to be eaten out and disappear as a specie. 
Orangutan in tiger habitat preferred to flee away on the trees. It even prefer to drink a water without descending to the ground in order to avoid the tigers:
