Here's why:
* Kingdom: Both humans and tigers belong to the Kingdom Animalia.
* Phylum: They both belong to the Phylum Chordata (having a backbone).
* Class: They both belong to the Class Mammalia (having mammary glands, fur/hair, and give birth to live young).
* Order: They belong to different Orders - Primates (humans) and Carnivora (tigers).
Therefore, Class Mammalia is the most specific classification they share.
