In Srimad Bhaagavatam (6.6.24 to 26) it is said that Sarama is the wife of Kashyapa and is the mother of all animals including tigers and lions.
"O King
Parīkṣit, now please hear from me the names of Kaśyapa's wives, from whose wombs the population of the entire universe has come. They are the mothers of almost all the population of the entire universe and their names are very auspicious to hear. They are Aditi, Diti, Danu, Kāṣţhā, Ariṣţā, Surasā, Ilā, Muni, Krodhavaśā, Tāmrā, Surabhi, Saramā and Timi. From the womb of Timi all the aquatics took birth, and from the womb of Saramā the ferocious animals like
the tigers and lions took birth."
