Tigers are incorrigibly competitive -- they simply cannot pass up a challenge, especially when honor is at stake, or they are protecting those they love. Tigers are unpredictable, and it would be unwise to underestimate their reactions. They appear cool, but they have a strong sense of their own dignity, and if they can be stubborn and obstinate.
