The collective noun for tigers is an "ambush", an apt name for this endangered species. Unfortunately, all types of tigers are either endangered at some level or extinct.
In fact, approximately 7,000 to 10,000 captive tigers can be found in the United States. That’s double the total amount of the less than 4,000 wild tigers found across the globe.
