This is a list of extant species in the Felidae family, which aims to evaluate their size, ordered by maximum reported weight and size of wild individuals on record. The list does not contain cat hybrids, such as the liger or tigon.
The Bengal tiger is a population of the Panthera tigris tigris subspecies and the nominate tiger subspecies. It ranks among the largest wild cats alive today. It is estimated to have been present in the Indian subcontinent since the Late Pleistocene for about 12,000 to 16,500 years.
The Siberian tiger or Amur tiger is a population of the tiger subspecies Panthera tigris tigris native to Northeast China, the Russian Far East, [1] and possibly North Korea. [2] It once ranged throughout the Korean Peninsula , but currently inhabits mainly the Sikhote-Alin mountain region in south-west Primorye Province in the Russian Far East.

In Nagarhole National Park, the average weight for tiger kills was found to be 91.5 kg (202 lb), compared to 37.6 kg (83 lb) for leopards and 43.4 kg (96 lb) for dholes. [135] In Kui Buri National Park , following a reduction in prey numbers, tigers continued to kill favoured prey while leopards and dholes increased their consumption of small prey.
The tibia is 29.7 cm (11.7 in) long and 8.1 cm (3.2 in) in diameter. The humerus is 30.6 cm (12.0 in) long and slightly smaller in width, length and diameter than humeri of Siberian tiger. [2] It would have weighed 200 to 350 kg (440 to 770 lb) in body mass. [3]
The golden tiger's coat is lighter than that of a normal tiger A golden tiger , sometimes called a golden tabby tiger , is a Bengal tiger with a colour variation caused by a recessive gene. Like white tigers and black tigers, it is a morph , and not a separate subspecies.
However, given the size of other remains, it may have been larger than a modern tiger. A large male could have weighed around 400 kg (880 lb), in which case it would have been heavier than the largest extant tiger subspecies, [ 3 ] rendering it among the largest felids known to have ever lived.
