5.6 Tiger, Tiger

Fort Boyard is a French game show that takes place in the Napoleonic fortress of the same name. In it, contestants complete challenges to earn keys that will allow them to access the treasure room, a chamber full of gold guarded by the resident tigers. While the real tigers retired in 2022, there are still CGI versions roaming around to terrorise anyone who doesn't escape the treasure room in time.

Read a book that features a tiger on the cover. This must clearly be a tiger (not a domestic Bengal cat) with stripes visible.

Examples: , , ,

Required: Post the cover.

Would this one work for a tiger?

Pity I just read Tiger Honor, but I'm putting it out there for anyone who might be interested.

In the meantime, hopefully this is clearly enough a tiger:

is this ok for a Tiger?

Many thanks x

Yes, I think that works. Stripes and ears clearly visible and obviously meant to be a big cat.

Trish, Fiona, those both work. Very clearly tigers!

This one shows a bunch of book covers and the second one down on the right has a tiger, probably it is supposed to be The Life of Pi. Is enough of the tiger showing?

Thanks!

Does this work? Thank you!

Would work? The two tigers are drawn in on either side of the dragon head. I just don't know if that's clear enough for this task. Thanks!

The stripes and tail are clearly visible, so I'm going to say yes. For peace of mind though I'm going to recommend linking back here when you claim so the reviewing mod knows it was approved.

That's fine, thanks!

Approved, it's recognisable enough as a tiger face. Again, might be worth linking back so the reviewing mod knows it got the thumbs up.

Not quite clear enough that they're tigers, I'm afraid, they're a little too abstract. I won't lie, I interpreted them as badgers at first glance!

No worries. Was worth the try as it's been on my TBR for ages. :)

Will this cover of work? The head is missing but stripes are visible and there is a tiger in the story.

Yes, I see a tiger there.

Does this work? I am hesitant because of the colors.

Yes, that's fine, clearly a white tiger. I do love white tigers.

Will this one work? The tiger isn’t fully visible so I wanted to make sure it was ok.

Yes, that's absolutely fine. That was actually one of the examples I dug out before I pared down the list for the sake of space in the task writeup!

Yep, I see a tiger's face on there. Approved.

thank you :)

Does Claws work? To me, it's clearly a tiger, but not sure if there's enough visible to be acceptable.

Yep, that's visibly a tiger in the tears of the jacket. Approved.
