What is a group of tigers called?

A group of several tigers is called a streak or an ambush. A female tigress and her cubs qualify as a streak. Tigers in captivity, forced to dwell together due to their habitat's size restrictions, are also called a streak.

Tigers are usually described as solitary animals, but they are not asocial. They communicate with each other using a special system of sounds, scratches ans even scents. For example, just like your house cats, they mark their territory by urine. Each tiger viciously defends its territory.

I neglected to think about tigers being solitary most of the time.

skipsmart, it is a streak or ambush. Lions are called prides.

Katalin Viorel

skipsmart, wrong.

Another wrong answer! It’s a Pride!

Peter Thomas

Knew it wasn't a pride, but the fact the one answer gave two words, ambush or streak, pulled me towards that one - it just looked like it had been directly copied from Wikipedia. In that respect it could maybe have been worded better.

I knew a pride was for lions, but as tigers are solitary, I had never heard of their collective noun, and I guessed...incorrectly!

Joyce Richards

I also said it is a “pride” and was rejected,

Joyce Harding

I chose Pride as 63.8% others did. I know that is what a group of lions is called. I do not think I have ever heard what a group of tigers is called until now.
