There's been post like "2 cougars vs tiger" or Jaguar vs Lioness, alot of people don't realize how Tigers and Lions dwarf other animals, because its very rare for them to be in close proximity to each other, but here's a picture of a Cougar and a Tiger who just so happened to end up in the same enclosure

Note the head difference.

those are some tiny cougars you are describing, even for a female the average is above 90 lbs.

I thought that he was guessing the weights of the two animals in the picture, the cougar does look rather small, at least at this camera angle.

You may be right, perhaps I misunderstood what he was saying. At 50-80 lbs I don't think we'd be talking about an adult cougar. That's like 50 lbs below average.

Nah, I think the Cougar is probably 90ish, and the Tiger is probably around 500.
