I would be very happy to exchange links. Your approach to Cats is intelligent and informative. It's about time someone took us seriously. After all, Cats are the superior species.
"Weight: 450-800 lbs (Males)

These numbers are greatly exaggerated. For the last 30 years (at least) no one met wild siberian tiger weighing more then 500 lbs. Let alone 500 lbs tigress. All 800+ lbs tiger are overfed zoo specimens.
In fact, recent research by Wildlife Conservation Society showed, that average weight of wild siberian male is 180 kg, female - 122 kg. It would mean that bengal tiger is the largest one, contrary to popular belief.
hardcrop you are smart but not that smart the biggest tiger ever was a bengal but on avrege the amur tiger is the biggest amur (siberian) tiger
Hardcorp, WCS also admited to having a limited number of specimens with a weak gene pool. Another study was conducted by a team in the Sikhote Alin mountain range by Alan Rabinowitz, and thus gave an average of 660lbs for healthy males, and maybe greater depending on prey.
