In traditional Chinese medicine, a tiger penis (Vietnamese: Pín hổ; Chinese: 虎鞭; pinyin: hǔ biān) is said to have important therapeutic properties. However, there is no scientific proof that tiger penis (or any other animal phallus) can be used to treat any medical disorder. The demand for tiger parts exacerbates the endangered status of the tiger by providing a market for poachers. While tiger penis is consumed in parts of China and Southeast Asia, the consumption of tiger penis is often condemned by most global environmental groups.[1]
Genuine tiger genitals are unlikely to be found for sale in public markets; what is usually sold is a fraudulent product made from beef cattle.[2](An example image is provided below)
