Tiger (1144)'s nickname was inspired by the California Tiger Salamander, a fellow endangered species known for its substantial size and commanding presence. Within the 2023 rookie cohort, Tiger (1144) stands out as the most robust and formidable member, earning him the reputation of being the toughest. Such is his dominance that during feeding sessions in the San Simeon release pen, others patiently waited until Tiger (1144) was finished eating before partaking in their meals. The choice of the California Tiger Salamander as Condor (1144)'s namesake is deliberate, as this endangered amphibian shares not only a significant size but also a distinguished presence, mirroring the impressive qualities of this condor.
Tiger (1144) was declared deceased on June 26, 2025 after missing for a year in the wild. This bird was gone far too soon when we consider that condors should be living into their 40s and 50s. He was a juvenile when he disappeared with his whole life ahead of him and his absence leaves a hole in the flock's social hierarchy.
