Let's use the Bengal tiger for this comparison, as it is the most common tiger. Standing on all four feet, the typical African lion male is between 40-42 inches at the shoulder. The male Bengal tiger is between 36-39 inches at the shoulder. Standing on hind legs, the tiger is somewhat taller because of its longer body structure.

The average male African lion weighs between 390-425 pounds. The average male Bengal tiger weighs between 425-475 pounds. The Bengal tiger male averages 9-9 1/2 feet in length, compared to the lion's 8 1/2 to 9 1/4 feet.

Some members of these species do grow larger, however. There are records of lions over 550 pounds, and tigers over 600 pounds. The largest wild cat ever killed was a 857 pound Bengal tiger, killed in India in 1967. There is also a record of an African lion of 690 pounds.
