Modern weights and measurements on wild tigers

[BlakeW39]

I have a few questions for some of you guys redarding big cat sizes. You all seem to be knowledgeable. While tigers, even those of India, seem to in vary greatly in size based upon region (especially in comparison to lions, which do not show great variability in size), what might be the average sizes of Bengal tigers Northern, Souther, etc. India, and how might those weights compare to those of other cats, namely lions.

Information which I have seen seem to suggest larger regions have tigers averaging close to 220kg, while smallee populations may be closer 120kg. The former is significantly larger than lions, most averaging (in South Africa) 190kg, whilst the latter seem more comparable to large jaguars.

Do tigers compare to lions in size? And how do Sundarban tigers and Sunda tigers compare in size to jaguars? Reply
