Tiger (1144) derives his name from 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.
