The size of Samson the tiger not only meets but even exceeds the expected and reputed size of the Siberian tigers. On average, the Siberian tigers are supposed to be around 600 to 650 pounds in weight. Samson the tiger is not only 700 (plus) pounds in weight but he is also 10 feet long in length. If he stands on its hind legs he certainly looks like the towering giant. Usually; the size of a tiger from 700 pounds to 800 pounds is always considered within the parameters of the world records.
Samson the tiger with 700 pounds and 10 feet long length is almost as huge as the biggest tigers in the wild which had recorded weights of 771 pounds, 716 pounds and 705 pounds respectively.
Therefore; as a rule of thumb any tiger weighing more than 700 pounds is the biggest one in the world. The weights of the biggest tigers ever recorded in the wild were 771 pounds, 716 pounds and 705 pounds respectively. Samson being 700 pound tiger also makes its way among one of the biggest tigers of all time and currently we don't see any other tiger that is as huge and massive as Samson the tiger.

In captivity the Siberian tigers have been known to gain more than 700 pounds of weight and the length of almost 10 feet long. However; such male tigers with this much weight are seldom witnessed but they did exist from time to time. The all-time world record in captivity for the Siberian Tiger is well over 900 pounds in weight. In 1988; a tiger named as Jaipur weighed almost 935 pounds. The tiger also made it to the Guinness Book of World Records. Tigers weighing as big as 650 pounds have also been witnessed at the Myrtle Beach Safari in South Carolina USA.
Over the years in captivity, no one has claimed a tiger to be as huge as 700 pounds in weight and 10 feet long in length. Therefore; we can conclude that Samson from the last two decades (2000 to 2020) should be considered as the biggest tiger in the world.
Similarly; another big Siberian tiger in South Africa's Jugomaro predator park also seemed to be huge and almost looked like 700 pounds in weight. In China's Harbin Tiger Park which is the biggest Siberian tiger park in the world, a huge non-obese tiger is also seems to be weighing 700 pounds as well. Since; no authentic source has claimed a tiger as big as 700 pounds, therefore; we can safely assume that from at least 2 decades Samson should be considered as the biggest tiger in captivity.

But Samson Seems to be
Biggest of them all with 700+ Pounds & 10 Feet long Body Length
Apart from 700 pounds and 10 feet long body length, Samson the tiger possesses a huge body structure. Samson has longer legs, huge jaws and the muscular body with massive body frame. Therefore; it's not just the weight and the body length which makes Samson a huge tiger but also his body frame is built massively as well.
Samson the tiger has a huge body structure which allows him to sustain the 700 pounds of weight. Samson is very active tiger and physically he is very fit.
If he sits on his hind legs; Samson roughly looks to be five and a half feet tall while at the shoulder lengths he is more than four and a half feet tall. We did explore some other big tigers in China which would have possibly weighed 700 pounds but they were all obese and overweight tigers. Furthermore; the body frame was almost unsustainable for those tigers.

Despite being huge, Samson seems to be the well-behaved, clam and the peaceful tiger in captivity. He is very well tamed and very playful with his caretakers. He is very nice with his personal trainer i.e., Carl Bovard and responds to his instructions in a very obedient manner. Samson is also very nice with other big cat trainers at the Single Vision Inc. and tries to socialize with them as well.
Even though Samson is the biggest tiger in the world; he seems to be very calm and easy going with his caretakers and other big cats. He is very playful and shows very few signs of aggression.
The tiger is kept in a huge-sized enclosure and his physical condition indicates that he is properly looked-after by its caretakers. Samson is also very calm with other big cats at the park.

Lastly; is it possible to watch such a huge tiger as Samson in the wild today? Probably not though! The loss of the tiger habitat all over the world has forced these huge Siberian tigers to be only part of the captivity. Only a few (wild) remain at Russia's Siberian region and the food sources for these tigers are also very scarce in the wild. A century ago it was easier to witness a huge tiger as big as 700 pounds within the Siberian regions. Recently; the observers did witness a rare glimpse of the huge Siberian tiger weighing more than 600 pounds in the wild Siberia (Only Positive Sign).
These days it is almost impossible to watch a tiger as big as Samson weighing 700 pounds in the wild. Very few Siberian tigers have remained and the biggest one in the wild seems to be around 600 to 650 pounds in weight.
But hunting and poaching have destroyed the existence of these magnificent big cats in the wild. Today; it seems like a miracle to watch a tiger as huge as Samson in the wild. Even the owner of the Single Vision Inc. (Carl Bovard) questions about the existence of the wild these days. The continuous impacts of deforestation, hunting and poaching are one of the biggest factors which the tigers are facing today all over the world.
