Here's why:
* Tigers are ambush predators: Their hunting style relies on stealth and surprise, so most attacks are inherently unexpected.
* No specific term: While there are terms for surprise attacks in warfare (like blitzkrieg), these don't translate directly to animal behavior.
* Focus on hunting strategy: Animal behaviorists would focus on describing the tiger's hunting techniques like "stalking" or "leaping" rather than using a term for a specific attack type.
Instead of a singular term, you could describe a tiger's attack as:
* A stealthy ambush: Highlighting the element of surprise.
* A sudden pounce: Emphasizing the quick and unexpected nature of the attack.
* A ferocious assault: Describing the intensity and power of the attack.
