tiger
Orange striped feline
The tiger is the largest species of cat and generally thought of as a fierce and dangerous animal.
Things called tiger that are not large, fierce cats attract the name because of some feature reminiscent of the real thing.
A man described as a tiger is probably virile, successful, and strong.
The tiger moth, tiger lily, and tiger prawn are all organisms with striped markings like those of a tiger.
Tiger stripes are markings of black or another dark color on a lighter color.
