tiger cub
Young jungle cat
A tiger cub is a young tiger, typically one still dependent on its mother.
Cubs stay with the mother for two to three years before becoming independent.
Figuratively, tiger cub can describe a young person showing fierce potential or, in economics, refers to emerging Asian economies following the model of the original "tiger" nations like South Korea and Singapore.
