tiger cubs

Young striped predators

Tiger cubs are young tigers, from birth until they approach maturity at around two to three years old.

Cubs stay with their mothers to learn hunting skills before becoming solitary adults.

Figuratively, tiger cubs may refer to rapidly developing Asian economies following in the footsteps of the original "tiger" economies like South Korea and Singapore.
