A tiger’s appearance without fur would reveal the same striped pattern on its skin that you see on its fur, and each tiger’s stripe pattern is unique—much like a human fingerprint. In other words, even shaved or naked, a tiger would still display its distinctive stripes across its skin. Key points
- Skin-level stripes: The pigment pattern in a tiger’s skin determines the stripe layout, so shaving would not erase the pattern.
- Individual fingerprints: No two tigers share the exact same stripe arrangement, making each tiger uniquely identifiable by its skin pattern.
- Camouflage remains consistent: The stripes on the skin would continue to provide disruptive coloration, aiding concealment even without fur.
