Note
A regular plural formed with -s, and it carries every meaning the singular does. Usually it means the big cats of Asia, but saber-toothed tigers, Tasmanian tigers and tiger moths pluralize the same way, so the surrounding words decide which animal is meant. Where tiger means the male as opposed to the tigress, tigers names males only. Ordinarily it covers both sexes.
