I had no idea how close in size they were. I swore tigers were bigger by a lot.

Bunch of different species of tigers. Tigers generally are 1.4-2.8m in head-body length (doesn’t count tail), and about 0.8-1.1m tall at the shoulders. Siberian and Bengal tigers are the biggest, with males weighing around 200-260kg. For Sumatran Tigers, which are on the smaller side, males typically weigh 100-140kg. So lots of diversity in tiger size.

Lions (the ones that live in Africa, not mountain lions) typically are about 1.6-1.8m in head-body length, and about 110-140kg. So the average lion is a bit bigger than the smallest tigers, but the biggest tigers are the biggest cats on the planet.
