He likes to travel and sail in his boat, and speaks with a French accent.

Episodes

In A Special Trip to Grandpere's House, when referring to grandpere at 25 seconds, Dad Tiger mentions "oh dad, you've outdone yourself". Later at 8 minutes, there is a paw print which belonged to Dad Tiger "from when I was a little tiger like you" and Grandpere comments "seems like just yesterday your dad was a little tiger like you".

Etymology

The word grandpere means grandfather in French and is a way for French children to say "grandpa" in which Grandpere Tiger is Daniel's grandpa. 

There was a character Mister Rogers' Neighborhood named Henri Frederique de Tigre. His son's daughter Collette Tiger also referred to him as "grandpere". A witch predicted Collette would marry Daniel Striped Tiger.[2]
