Are bengal tigers bigger than siberian tigers or is fake news?

I'm so confused and mad.

Most internet sites say siberian bigger.
Some russian study from 2005 (ill post screenshot of title i don't have access to it) indicate Bengal is bigger. Someone has translated a portion of the data from study here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/animalsversesanimals/the-document-of-slaght-et-al-2005-about-the-tiger--t1539.html

They are referencing this study: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/2/7/AAZsuhAADrsz.jpg

Other cat literature indicate bengals being larger than siberians in weight. A compilation of them shown here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/wildanimalwarfare/size-of-lion-and-tiger-t189.html

Who do i believe????? I'm so fucking pissed off about not knowing what is real or fake

iirc Siberian is bigger because they're fatter.

they're the same size iirc, some individuals get crazy big from both species though

dude tigers are dope

That makes sense to me tbh. Maybe they getting smaller because of habitat lost so less food now
