Comparison between all known tiger subspecies:  The leftmost one represents a massive unofficial tiger discovered in Borneo, dubbed "the Pleistocene Bornean Tiger“. It is estimated to be 480 kg, making it one of the largest felines ever lived! carnivora.net/visual-comparisons-t47-s1200.html#p223961 |

I'm not Superman, so I can't read the writing. Appears to be three tiger species in front of the Amur.

The Pleistocene Borneon tiger is the first one and largest followed by the Ngadong tiger, scaled up version of Bengal tiger. The third one is the Wahsien tiger, scaled up version of South Chinese tiger. |

Modern days Bengal tiger is heavier than Amur tiger on average but it seems that the Siberian tiger is the largest modern tiger historically.

Another example, we have exceptionally large male polar bears at 800kgs too like Stan but he is rare and probably one off too.
