虎 (hǔ): tiger

On the weekend we took our child to the zoo; seeing a real tiger for the first time, he was so excited he shouted and jumped around.

He was born in the Year of the Tiger, so his friends often joke that he really does have a tiger's drive and is never afraid of difficulties.

In ancient China, the tiger was considered one of the fiercest animals, and people often used it to symbolize courage and strength.

A camera in the nature reserve captured a tigress leading two cubs through the forest, and the staff were all very happy to see it.
