If the animal in the image was a male, would the caption read "male tiger"? No? Then clearly in common usage "tiger" = "male animal" and the female should be referred to by its name of "tigress". Otherwise, we are assuming that male = normal/standard/default and everything else must be tagged to clarify what it is. MurielMary ( talk) 01:17, 20 November 2016 (UTC) reply
Also, following your logic @ Thnidu:, if "tiger" = "male and female animals" then the caption should actually read "Maya, a tiger". MurielMary ( talk) 01:19, 20 November 2016 (UTC) reply
@ MurielMary: (Not a vote, just continuing a discussion.) Not necessarily. We can use "deer" for an adult animal of that type of either sex, but we also have the option of saying "doe" or "stag" as appropriate. As I said above, "Not necessary to change female tiger to tigress. Either way is OK."
Dog words are similar to "tiger/tigress". From Quora: In the breeder's world, a male dog is simply called a "dog." (Females are called "bitches.") In the breed ring you have classes for "dogs" and classes for "bitches." Only males show as dogs, and only females show as bitches.
