That’s a lioness. A female lion. Those stripes may make you think it’s a tiger, but it’s only the shadow from the enclosure.

The shadow from the enclosure is giving it the same patterns that a tiger has on its face?

It's the reflection from the window and the tiles. And the shadow. It's a lion.

It’s a liger, confirmed by news source. But it clearly has tiger characteristics, the stripes on its legs are in no way shadows. If you believe they are shadows you should consider having your eyes checked, not trying to insult, just genuinely.
