Cypraea tigris, commonly known as the tiger cowry, is a species of cowry, a large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries. Measuring up to 15 cm (6 in) in length, the shell is round, with black spots on a white background, and is usually covered by the mantle when the cowrie is roving the sea floor and coral reefs. The natural range of this species is the western Pacific and northern Indian Oceans, at depths of 10 to 40 metres. The populations have been reduced by habitat destruction and commercial shell collecting.
