In captivity, they can live up to 20-25 years due to better care and the absence of threats. Tigers live longer in captivity as there is no inter and intra-specific competition as compared to their wild and natural counterparts.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"textAlign\":\"center\",\"level\":3} -->\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Question 10: How much do Tigers weigh?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Male tigers typically weigh between 200-300 kg , while female tigers usually weigh between 100-160 kg.
