Science
Tigers have a unique stripe pattern on their bodies, so that their fur and skin are labeled with a pattern that is not duplicated.
Every individual tiger has a unique stripe pattern, simmilar to human fingerprints that can identify an individual person.
The stripes help camoflauge the tiger while hunting prey.
The same stripe pattern exists on the tiger's skin as the fur.
Tiger stripes are an example of a fractal, a repeating pattern at various scales to infinity.
