It is [[Inland waterways of the United States|navigable]] for {{convert|125|mi|km|abbr=on}} from its confluence with the Marañón. It forms from the confluence of the [[Ecuador]]ian rivers [[Conambo River|Conambo]] and [[Pintoyacu River|Pintoyacu]] at the Peruvian border. Like the Nanay, it flows entirely in the plains. Its mouth is {{convert|42|mi|km|abbr=on}} west of the junction of the [[Ucayali River]] with the Marañón. Continuing west from the Tigre along the Marañón River are the [[Parinari River|Parinari]], [[Chambira]], and [[Nucuray]], all short lowland streams, resembling the Nanay in character. ''Tigre'' is [[Spanish language|Spanish]] for "tiger", the vernacular name in the region for the [[Jaguar]] . ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Tributaries of the Amazon River]] [[Category:Rivers of Peru]] [[Category:Rivers of the Department of Loreto]] [[Category:Geography of Pastaza Province]] {{Peru-river-stub}}
