Why Do Tigers Have Stripes?

Tigers’ stripes are the perfect camouflage for survival in the wild. To prey such as deer and other ungulates, bold, contrasting colours are much harder to pick out in long grass. Prey like deer only have two colour receptors in their eyes, meaning they cannot see as many colours as humans do. 🤯 So next time you see a tiger, take a moment to appreciate their bold orange and black stripes and try to imagine what that would look like to a deer in the wild, in tall grass! 🌿 ❤️ SUBSCRIBE to be the first to see all of our videos! 🐅 Join us and support our global rescue & conservation efforts.
