Tigers can reach a total body length of up to 3.3 m (11 ft) and weighing up to 306 kg (675 lb). At the shoulder, tigers may variously stand 0.7 to 1.22 m (2.3 to 4.0 ft) tall.

As with any species, length and height varies throughout sub-species and males and females. Here's a small example of that;

The Bengal tiger (P. t. tigris), also called the Indian tiger males have a total length, including the tail, of 270 to 310 cm (110 to 120 in), while females range from 240 to 265 cm (94 to 104 in).

The Siberian tiger (P. t. altaica), also known as the Amur tiger ranks among the largest felids ever to have existed, with a head and body length of 160-180 cm (63-71 in) for females and 190-230 cm (75-91 in) for males, plus a tail of about 60-110 cm (24-43 in)

The South China tiger (P. t. amoyensis), also known as the Amoy or Xiamen tiger are one of the smaller tiger subspecies, the length of the South China tiger ranges from 2.2-2.6 m (87-100 in) for both males and females
