Hmmm, maybe FAXES if you’re making several copies of a document? Oh, how about TAPES? Yes on the first – no on all other guesses. Hint: You’d probably guess if I’d given the plural of the second word, but if I gave the plural it wouldn’t be five letters. ---

At least that’s what Jungle Larry of Cleveland TV and Cedar Point fame called his male tiger-female lion hybrids. A check of _Wikipedia_ gives TIGRON as a variant of TIGON. ---
