Parenthetical Citation Tigers are the largest of the big cats but have many features in common with their feline cousins. Although some tigers are only between 240 and 350 pounds, some tigers can be as large as 600 pounds and as long as 12 feet (“Tiger”). Despite their impressive size, tigers are very vulnerable. Habitat loss is partly to blame for the dwindling tiger population as the clearing of forests for farming and timber has led to the destruction of 93% of the tiger’s environment (WWF).
