El tigre anda y vive en las sierras y entre las peñas y riscos, y también en el agua. Es nob le, y dicen es príncipe y señor de los otros animales. Y es avisado y recatado, y regálase como el gato, y no consiente trabajo ninguno. Y tiene asco de ver cosas sucias y hediondas, y tiénese en mucho. Es baxo y corpulento, y tiene la cola larga, y las manos son gruesas y anchas, y tiene el pescuezo grueso.
