The is camera is one of a range of animal cameras distributed in the UK by the highstreet Chemist chain, Boots. Other than that - very little is known about it other from the unsurprising fact it was made in China.
As well as the obvious tiger design on the front - the camera also has a strap toggle in the shape of a tiger too.

The camera does have some neat child friendly features:
- Child proof film door catch
- Child proof film rewind (uses a seperate key)
- Big wind on wheel/knob
Unfortunately the rewind key tends to get lost as this is seperate from the camera and supposed to kept by the adult to use when the film needs changing.
We don’t know how many different cameras were in this range - but we also have a Bug, Giraffe and Polar Bear version. Fortunately the Giraffe one came with its key which luckily fits all these cameras.
We spotted this other version in the local Milestone’s museum which has an excellent camera display:
