A twist of Stripe von Erika Cross

USA

A tiger's orange and black coat is one of its most notable features. It's stripes provide camouflage on the jungle floor and help the cat when stalking prey. Research indicates, however, that animals in the wild do not see color, making the tiger's iconic orange black coat open for reinterpretation. While offering a new twist to the tiger stripe, theses alternative color combinations render equally effective as camouflage in the wild.
