    Do tigers themselves see themselves as orange, or are they genuinely surprised when humans easily spot them hiding in the grass?

    The green image of the tiger is terrifying. You wouldn’t see it until it’s eyes or teeth were baring down on you in a lush green forest. Thankfully humans weren’t it’s main prey and therefore it likely evolved to appear orange instead…

      Umm, I’ve met tigers.

      You need to explain to them that we’re not prey, but they haven’t figured it out yet.

    Is that why cats can be so ginger and still good hunters? My orange stands out so much in the garden, but maybe to dichromatic mice he’s super stealthy?

    Tigers are generally crepuscular which means they’re most active around dawn or dusk, when the sun is very low in the sky. Their orange fur does not stand out so well when everything looks orange under the golden light of dawn.
