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 mammals - and they see the tiger as green. So is the orange or green?

I actually learned this fact at the keeper talk at Park. Pretty cool 👍. Paper from Camo Lab : royalsocietypublishing.org/doi
