Is A Tiger's Skin Striped?
Answer:
Yes! Everyone knows that a tiger has a striped coat, but how many relations know that the tiger's skin is striped as well?! It is true! Underneath all those lovely stripes, the tiger's skin is striped too, and even the rare white tiger have bluish stripes on its skin.
The fact was first noticed by veterinarians, when they have to shave off patches of a tiger's fur for surgery, and this was when they made the astonishing discovery that the tiger have stripes on its skin, below the fur. However, when one talks about the tiger's stripes, one refers to the stripes on its fur, which are as unique as human fingerprints; no two tigers ever own the same stripes, and this is how individual tigers can be identified. A tiger is striped because it needs to camouflage itself when it is hunting, and the stripes cover the animal up when it stalks against the wild grasses from where on earth it launches its attacks on its unsuspecting prey.
Not only do tigers have striped skin, regular (tiger-striped) house cats do too! Not lately stripes, either...if your cat has spots, his or her skin is spotted as well.
