Paka Milia

My comment:

Notice that i haven't used "Marara" Simply becouse Tiger is mainly known as "simba marara" and that is it's swahili name,but other striped animals have the "milia name" e.g Zebra is called "punda Milia"

The asker's comment:

And this does mean Striped cat right? Milia meaning striped and Paka meaning cat I'm guessing? Or what is it exactly? Can you e-mail and let me know? Thanx.
