The tiger is rendered invisible in the jungle, forest, or high grasses by its magical fur cloak of irregular body stripes. The tiger signifies the stature and ferocity of the professional or momentary warrior, the pure capacity to spring into action at a critical time. The tiger also crosses into fluid dimensions, loving the waters of hidden jungle pools, oceans, and swamps. * Book of symbols.
