Final answer:

The tigers are displaying innate behavior, which is natural and unlearned, and through playing, they are learning skills necessary for survival like hunting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The behavior the tigers exhibit by clawing is called innate behavior. This is a type of behavior that animals are born with and do not need to learn. Examples of innate behavior include cats naturally knowing how to hunt, spiders spinning webs, and birds building nests. Young mammals also engage in play, which is a form of learning essential skills they will need as adults, such as hunting for predators like tigers.
