A group of tigers is called an "ambush" or a "streak." Tigers are capable of short bursts of speed:
- Bengal tiger: up to 49–55 km/h (30–34 mph)
- Siberian (Amur) tiger: up to 50–60 km/h (31–37 mph)
- Indochinese tiger: up to 49–55 km/h (30–34 mph)
- Malayan tiger: up to 45–50 km/h (28–31 mph)
- Sumatran tiger: up to 40–50 km/h (25–31 mph)
Speeds vary by age, size, and terrain. Tigers typically ambush prey rather than chase over long distances.
