What is the correct scientific name of Tiger?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Panthera tigris

Correct answer: A, Panthera tigris. A scientific name follows binomial nomenclature: the first word is the genus and the second is the specific epithet. Panthera tigris is the accepted scientific name for the tiger. Panthera is the genus, which is also found in the scientific names of the lion, Panthera leo, and leopard, Panthera pardus. B is the scientific name of the lion, not the tiger. C is the scientific name of the leopard, not the tiger. D is the scientific name traditionally used for the domestic cat, so it does not identify a tiger. The two words should be italicized in print, with Panthera beginning with a capital letter and tigris beginning with a lowercase letter. Memory cue: tiger = Panthera tigris; lion = Panthera leo; leopard = Panthera pardus.
