tigers

(Other definitions for tigers that I've seen before include "Large forest felines" , "Sir, get to the animals" , "Large striped felines" , "Great striped animals, poetically burning bright" , "Big striped cats poetically burning bright" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
