You are combining 2 totally contrary animals.
Elephant: Biggest land mammal, herbivore / plant eater, does not have enemies after it becomes adult, lives to 60 years, sleeps for only about 3 to 5 hours a day, forages for food rest of the day, eats stomach-full every day, attains maturity only after 10 years, takes care of young for 5 to 6 years, mates only once in 5 years, live in groups.
Tiger: Biggest Feline but no match to an elephant, carnivore / flesh eater, have competitors for food but not many enemies, lives to only 20 years, sleeps for 18-20 hours, hunts for 2 to 3 hours a day, eats stomach-full only 4 to 5 days a week, attains sexual maturity by 2 years, take care of cubs for only one year, mates once in every year, solitary life.

Use your imagination! You made it up!
I would think it would live in the forests and tall grasses of Asia, either at the forest edge or near clearings, as you get Asian elephants and Bengal tigers, and can also get small forest elephants.
As Tiger Tracks said, these are two very different animals! Tigers have stripes to camoflage them as they hunt other animals to eat, and are smaller than elephants because it is harder to hunt than to browse on plants. Elephants have trunks to pick up fruit and leaves to eat, and dont need camoflage as they dont need to hide- they're big and strong enough to fight off animals that attack them, and the plants they eat dont run away. Maybe you're animal has stripes like a tiger because it is smaller than an elephant, and needs to hide from other animals that want to eat it.
