National animal of India (5)

I believe the answer is:

tiger

(Other definitions for tiger that I've seen before include "Large striped cat" , "One noted for stripes" , "Ferocious person" , "''... ... burning bright, in the forests of the night'' (Blake)" , "Shere Khan's type" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
