The word "tiger" is taken from the Greek word "tigris", which is possibly derived from a Persian source meaning "arrow", a reference to the animal's speed and also the origin for the name of the Tigris river. In American English, "Tigress" was first recorded in 1611. It was one of the many species originally described, as Felis tigris, by Linnaeus in his 18th century work, Systema Naturae. The generic component of its scientific designation, Panthera tigris, is often presumed to derive from Greek pan- and theron, but this may be a folk etymology. Although it came into English through the classical languages, panthera is probably of East Asian origin, meaning "the yellowish animal", or "whitish-yellow".
A group of tigers is rare, but when seen together is termed a "streak" or an "ambush".tigers stripes are like fingerprints there are no two alike.

Tiger Bay was called so due to the sailor that worked in its waters.The fast swirling waters reminded the sailors of the fast rapid movement of Tigers....Yes...its as simple as that.However,with sailors having the reputation for alchohol,Tiger Bay was not a popular place,it was a place much dreaded as the population of alcohlics far surpassed the the population of non-alcohlics.After a deterioration in the trades,emplyment and tourism,Tiger Bay needed some serious change.
