*Conclusion: 596+596= 1,192 / 126 pounds less than 1,318. Meaning that if we were to double the weight of the max Amur tiger, he would still weigh 126 pounds less than the max Ussuri brown bear. |

It has been often said by big cat enthusiasts, "a bear needs a significant size advantage to defeat a big cat."
This statement was repeated so often by so many big cat fans, that for my first couple of years in animal face-off debates, I believed it. But, after learning through reading, watching videos, and learning from knowledgeable posters, I now know that it is the big cat which needs a significant size advantage to defeat a bear in a face-to-face confrontation.

A male lion or a tiger is full-grown at 5 years old.
A male brown bear is full-grown at 12 years old.
A male gorilla becomes a silverback at 12 years old.

The heaviest male Amur tiger actually weighed - Dr. Feng Limin confirmed he had personally seen a wild male Amur tiger of 270 kg (596 pounds). This is the max-weight for an Amur (Siberian) tiger. Until a heavier tiger can be verified and confirmed, this is the biggest tiger reliably weighed to date. According to Peter Matthiessen "Tigers In The Snow" paperback – October 10, 2001, during their "tiger project" field research, they did not find any tigers weighing up to 500 pounds or greater. The thing I don't understand is, just how big do these guys want their tiger to be? Any big cat weighing over 400 pounds is seriously a monster. |

Panthera tigris = 160kg or 352.74 pounds - rounded off to 353 pounds. Ursus arctos = 250kg or 551.16 pounds - rounded off to 550 pounds. Panthera Leo = 181kg or 399 pounds - rounded off to 400 pounds. Ursus maritimus = 500kg or 1,102.31 pounds - rounded off to 1100 pounds. (double the weight of the average brown bear) These are the average weights of each animal listed as a species - no individual subspecies. Btw, polar bears do not have subspecies. |

Fact: There does not exist even one single peer reviewed, documented, confirmed account of a tiger ever killing a full-grown (12+ yrs old) male brown bear.
In fact, at this present time, the oldest male brown bear that was confirmed as being killed by a tiger (that I have found) was a 5-year-old sub-adult.

Any male brown bear under 12 years old reported killed by a tiger was not a full-grown male brown bear. |
