Only humans see tigers as orange. Most other animals, particularly their prey, see them as green.
Interesting. I've heard a zoologist say that many forest-based mammals are orange for this same reason. They're perceived as green and so blend in with the leaves.
does that make them even harder to see for their prey?
Innnnteresting
In a perfect world they shouldn't see them at all :)
This is wonderful. Rushing off immediately to tell my 9yo son 🐯
Wouldn't other catarrhine primates be similar to humans for these purposes? (And what about birds?)
