I would consider these animals as extreme individuals, like over-sized wrestlers or basketball players. As for what I would call the normal maximums: Lion, about 250 kg ( 550 pounds ) - Tiger, about 318 kg ( 700 pounds ) - Inland brown bear, about 363 kg ( 800 pounds ) - Coastal brown bear, about 680 kg ( 1500 pounds ) - and Polar bear, about 907 kg ( 2000 pounds ). 
I believe that individuals above this size range should be considered as freakish or at least highly unusual. In fact, those within this size range ( imo ) are news worthy.  Reply
