Heraldic Tiger Rampant - Symbol of Courage and Nobility #3488887 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration shows a traditional heraldic tiger rampant-standing on its hind legs with forepaws raised-rendered in gold (or) with sable (black) stripes, a red tongue and claws. Unlike the natural tiger, the heraldic version is stylized for symbolic clarity and often appears in medieval and Renaissance coats of arms. Its posture conveys aggression, vigilance, and noble authority.
