Tigers are noble

According to at least one biography of his, it was just always a strong fascination. When he was a kid he would have his mother take him to the zoo so he could look at the Bengal tiger there like, every single week.

His dad also told him stories about the tiger hunters who used to be employed on plantations in old Argentina, who would work with nothing but a dagger and a dog to kill the animals. Guys would just stare down a tiger, wait for it to pounce, and then in one quick motions slide under it and gut it mid-air.

And Borges always had a fascination with everything of this kind -- these are all tied together, in one way or another, -- daggers, tigers, feats of bravery or will. He's an artist who maintains a very consistent system of symbols, and this is part of an entire branch of them.
