The term STRIPED BIG CAT is referring to the TIGER, which is a large striped cat native to parts of Asia and India. It is the largest of the big cats and is an apex predator, meaning it is at the top of its food chain. Tigers are known for their distinctive orange and black stripes, which help them blend into their environment and camouflage themselves from potential prey. They are also known for their powerful roar, which can be heard up to two miles away.
