ADAPTATIONs

Tiger

Tigers have developed traits that make it easier for them to thrive and survive in the wild. 

FUR AND COLOR:

The fur of a tiger provides camouflage for them while hunting. Their black stripes help mimic shadows and their orange coat bears resemblance to the sunset, and as they stalk their prey they become almost invisible to their prey. They hunt blending into the tall grasses and trees that are present in their habitat.

EYES:

A tiger's vision is very similar to a human's in that they use, perceive, and discern things in the same way. While their sight may not be as detailed it is very close. They can also use depth perception which aids them in dictating distances and objects, mostly their prey, which and they use this to their advantage to make calculating approaches toward hunting. There is a membrane on their eyes that protects them from dirt and dust so they won't be hindered by something blocking their sight too.

UNIQUE ADVANTAGES:

Tigers' vision at night is close to 6 times greater than that of a human and this is why they are so effective at hunting when their prey's sight is dulled around the same time they begin hunting. Their larger, wider pupils and lenses allow more light in. Their retinas are made up rods and cones giving them advantages locate slight movements instead of perceiving different ranges of color like humans.
