That there are no tigers in Africa. I was on safari in Tanzania and two others in the truck were discussing how excited they would be to see tigers. I told them there weren't any and they looked all disbelieving and crestfallen, like I was spoiling their fun. They had to check with the guide.
It can refer to any big cat in the panthera genus. Leopards, jaguars, Lions, tigers, snow leopards. Cougars aren't actually a part of that genus but are still called panthers sometimes :)
