What is a family of tigers called? Is it pack or pride like lions?

No, a pride is only lions.





I have seen three collective nouns for tigers: "an ambush of tigers", "a hide of tigers", "a streak of tigers". [javaglossary]





Ohio Aces shows "A streak of tigers" also. [ohioaces]





Universal Facts shows "A swift or ambush of tigers" [universal]

What is a family of tigers called? Is it pack or pride like lions?
I have recently returned from Africa. The guide we in the jungle told us that they were called a load... His exact words as I remember was "to run like F*ck" cos there was a load of Tigers coming...
Reply:Tigers are solitary animals
Reply:As with many of the collective names for certain


kinds of animals, no one really uses a lot of these


words. There was a fad for inventing such words


in Europe at one time, and the more fanciful and


peculiar the better. There is no reason to have a


collective word for tigers because, as several of


the answers have pointed out, tigers are primarily


solitary animals. They come together briefly to


mate, but the only groups of tigers you would see


are a mother with her young, and there are rarely


more than two or three of these by the time they


are grown.
Reply:A pride is the collective noun for lions (a family of lions is just a family).


The collective noun for tigers is an ambush.
Reply:a bunch





actually if I see a bunch of tigers, I wouldn't hang around long enough to wonder what to call them!!!!!
Reply:They are just referred to as mother and cubs because they separate at around 2 years and live solitary lives.
Reply:Actually tigers normally only get together to mate. The tigeress may keep cubs with her for 2 years but then it's, "Out you go Bud.". They don't form packs or prides like some large predators.
