Tigers
How did Tigers develop their stripes? Well, this is something called natural selection which comes from Darwinism.
Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by a man named Charles Darwin from 1809–1882. stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.
So what does this have to do with tigers? Tigers come from many different biomes; rain forests, grasslands, and savannas. Even though these are all completely different types of biomes, tigers still find a way to blend in with them. Tigers are a hunter species that rely on their fur as camouflage while spying on their prey before making a move.
Tigers and many other species have gotten their looks depending on what biomes they’re from. As shown in the picture, the tiger really blends in with the surroundings which fool their prey into thinking they’re safe right before the tiger strikes.
