The stripes help tigers blend in with the shadows and sunlight in their natural habitats, making it harder for prey to spot them.

Camouflage

Each tiger has unique stripe patterns, similar to human fingerprints. This helps tigers recognize each other and avoid conflicts.

Individual identification

The stripes can be used for communication between tigers. For example, a tiger might use its stripes to intimidate another tiger or to signal its intentions.

Communication

The dark stripes absorb heat from the sun, while the lighter stripes reflect it. This helps tigers regulate their body temperature in different environments.
