Stripes of tiger

  1.       Tigers are the only cat species that are completely striped and the species of tiger can identify by their pattern of stripes. Tigers not only have stripes on their fur, they also have on their skin.  Two tigers ever not have the same stripes. Like human fingerprints, their stripe patterns are unique to each individual. Stripes range in color from light brown to black and are not symmetrical on both sides. Stripe density varies by subspecies.
  2.         Stripes are basically for hiding purpose. Stripes help tiger to hide themselves during the hunting. The stripes look like shadows as they walk through long grass in the moonlight.
  3.        stripes help them to go close to their prey  without being spotted. Most animals in the wild do not see colors which is a huge benefit to tiger. The black, white and grey colour stripes is look like shadow for some of those animals. The Orange colour stripe helps them to blend with the wild grasses and ground covers which make them look like a big Orange ball and between these Orange colour black stripe exists which break up the orange colour. As most of the wildlife animals can’t distinguish between different colour they thought the Orange colour is of grass and Black colour as grass’s shadow. So the animals could’nt see the Tiger. In this manner the stripes make them harder to spot.
