Bioplastics Made From Avocado Pits That Completely Biodegrade In 240 Days Created By Mexican Chemical Engineering Company 🥑
These listicles often have me doing a deep dive into the facts and stories, and getting lost in a rabbit hole of interesting information. This time, a few of the posts caught my attention. The one about tigers appearing green really had me questioning all that I once believed to be true. And whether I might be color-blind.
I was intrigued, and relieved, to read that tigers are in fact, orange. To humans at least. But I honestly had no idea, until now, that they're sort of like the chameleons of wild animals. Well, not quite. But almost.
The Lions, Tigers & Bears site explains it this way: "Tigers appear orange to humans because most of us are trichromatic (or sensitive to all three primary colors). But boars, deer, and other tiger prey are dichromatic and only pick up green and blue light. They’re effectively colorblind to red, like some people. This means that they cannot distinguish between red-orange tones and green tones. So, an orange tiger, to the prey’s detriment, will seamlessly blend into the forest backdrop."
[darn], that's interesting.
