That's a pretty cool finding. Why are tigers orange, if they need to be camouflaged in green bushes? Well, they aren't necessarily orange. The tiger's prey are mostly #dichromat mammals - and they see the tiger as green. So is the #tiger orange or green?
I actually learned this fact at the keeper talk at #Ballarat #Wildlife Park. Pretty cool 👍. Paper from Camo Lab #UniBristol: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsif.2019.0183
