Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Tigre is masculine because it derives from Latin *tigris*, which was itself borrowed from Greek *τίγρις* (tigris) and ultimately from a Semitic source; Latin nouns ending in *-is* that referred to animals were typically masculine, and this gender was preserved when the word entered Spanish. The word is essentially an exception to typical Spanish gender patterns since it doesn't follow the common -o (masculine) or -a (feminine) endings.
