Bcause nature provides that every size animal has a niche to fill. The tiger feeds on large animals, and is the largest cat. The lynx feeds on rabbits, mice and birds, so to be tiger size would mean that the smaller animals would not have a predator that could keep their numbers in check. Large animals like wolves and bears feed on small prey occasionally, but they are not as competent as a small cat when it comes to being a predator of rodents.
