Introduction

The Caspian tiger was the biggest cat in history. It was bigger than any of today’s big cats, including lions and tigers. The Caspian tiger could grow to as much as 6 feet long (1.8 meters) from head to tail tip and weigh over 500 pounds (227 kg). That’s a lot of cat!

The Caspian Tiger – The biggest cat in history.

The Caspian Tiger was the biggest cat in history. It was also the last subspecies of tiger to become extinct. The Caspian Tiger, native to the steppes of Central Asia, had a golden coat and green eyes. Its body length was between 5.5 and 6 feet (1.7-1.8 meters) long with a tail length of 1 foot (30 cm). Its height at shoulder can be as large as 3 feet (90 cm).

The Caspian Tiger lived in Iran, Iraq, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan from around 100 BC until it became extinct by 1970s due to poaching for its fur and meat, destruction of its habitat for agriculture purposes or livestock grazing as well as being killed by hunters who wanted their trophies on their walls!

The Bali Tiger – Second biggest cat in history.

The Bali Tiger was a subspecies of tiger native to Bali and Java. It was the second biggest cat in history, weighing up to 500 pounds (227 kilograms). In fact, it was so big that when it died out in the early 20th century, scientists thought there had been an error made and that at one point there were two species of tigers roaming Southeast Asia: The Biggest Cat and this one.

The Bali Tiger’s extinction can be attributed to many factors—hunting for its valuable pelt (which is where we get “tiger” from), habitat loss due to human encroachment into their territory and conflict with local people who did not want them around for religious reasons. They were also hunted as trophies by Western hunters during colonial times.

The American Lion – Third biggest cat in history.

The American Lion was a prehistoric cat that lived in North America around 2 million years ago. It is believed that they could grow to be 3 meters long, which makes them the third biggest cat in history.

The American lion had a shorter tail than modern day lions and it was longer than an African lion’s. They also had longer limbs which made them more agile than modern day lions.

The Siberian Tiger – Fourth biggest cat in history.

The Siberian Tiger is the fourth biggest cat in history. This cat is also called Amur, Manchurian and Korean tiger.

Siberian Tigers are the largest species of tiger. These cats also have thick fur, large paws and a stocky body shape that make it harder for them to move fast.

Siberian Tigers are the biggest wild cats in Asia with males weighing up to 300 kgs or 600 pounds! The average weight of a Siberian Tiger is between 135 kgs (300 lbs) – 190 kgs (420 lbs), but some have been found heavier than this!

The Black Panther – Fifth biggest cat in history.

The black panther, which is the fifth biggest cat in history. It’s also called a black leopard and is considered by some to be a subspecies of the African leopard. The largest specimen was shot in 1907 and weighed 78 kilograms (172 pounds). They are primarily found in rain forests, deciduous forests and savannas of Central Africa.

Black panthers have been known to reach speeds up to 65 kilometers per hour (40 miles per hour) when running down prey!

Cats are smaller now than they used to be, but they can still be huge and intimidating!

The biggest cat of all time was the short-faced bear. It stood 12 feet tall and weighed over 3,000 pounds. These cats were so big that they could eat an entire cow in one sitting!

However, today’s cats are nowhere near as large as the extinct species mentioned above. Despite this, they can still be huge and intimidating if you’re not careful around them. If a cat does attack you or someone else, it will do damage to your face, arms and legs like any other wild animal would do to its prey. There have been many cases where people have lost their lives because of attacks by these animals – just ask any farmer who has ever had an encounter with one!
