Tiger's have stripes to help them camouflage. You may think that being a large orange cat in the jungle would make a tiger quite noticeable, but it's quite the opposite. The black stripes against the orange fur are similar to those produced by leaves when the sun shines through them. This makes it hard for prey animals to distinguish where the tiger is and which end, the tail or the more deadly front end, is facing them.
