Tigers would not be authentic to what typically was used for an effigy mound. Effigy mounds were commonly built in the shapes of animals such as bears, birds, and panthers, as those animals were significant in Native American cultures. Tigers are not native to North America and would not have been a symbol used in effigy mounds.
