Desperately need me a community just for tiger facts like this and pictures of tigers. Greatest of the Big Cats

I wish lol. I don't have enough time to manage a community though. if someone else made one though i'd follow it instantly

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I vaguely remember someone mentioning a community to give your community ideas to who may want to implement it... I forgot the name.

Do the tigers know they are orange?

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do humans know tigers are green?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Asking the real questions

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Probably not, the same way humans don't know we are striped.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ist is possible to make the own pattern visible? Like with special Cameras and Light?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I mean I saw these on people last time I took acid. Does that count?

No, they too are dichromats

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Almost like our eyes evolved to give danger its own colour.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This must be utterly terrifying for them.

"Why? I've always been orange." - tigers

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Would not green be the obvious route then?

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

AFAIK green is more expensive to produce. Plants use it since it's good at absorbing sunlight, but what's the advantage to a tiger, if their prey can't tell the difference?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

idk they could make green but then in, let's say, UV it's like a completely different color, so it'd just be the same situation but in another level
