Best Answer

The tiger's stripes break up its outline as he lies up in cover awaiting prey. The special patterns aid camouflage. Additional Info: For the average prey such as, color-blind deer, antelope, the stripes of a tiger help it all but disappear in tall grass. To it's prey the tiger may seem to be patches of sunlight dappled with shadows, giving it the ability to get close to prey and then make a single leap. Tigers aren't able to chase a deer for long distances, so the patterns give them an edge. Also the patterns of a tiger are individual to each tiger. Much like finger prints, "no two have exactly the same stripes". To top it off, the tiger's skin carries the stripes, not just their fur.

Tigers are special because they are the largest cat species, known for their distinctive orange fur with black stripes. They are apex predators that play a vital role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems. Unfortunately, they are also endangered due to habitat loss and poaching, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.

The answer is no. Every single tiger has its very own pattern and personality. No two tigers ever have the same pattern. Although human say the original pattern is orange with black strips (or white with black strips, for white tigers).

Mostly their Striped Skins, those Exceptional Eyes, and the unfortunate 'Needful' Desire of Humans to Kill Them.

Tigers are the apex predator of Asian biomes. They have have been persecuted by humans for centuries for many reasons. The main reason now is use of their body parts in quack medicines, mainly by the nation of China. China holds the tiger's fate in her hands, to be frank. If this practice would cease, tiger numbers would certainly rise.
