  And they are not stripes! Look closely and they are elongated spots

      “The lines seemed to be present at birth and didn’t follow any other known body system such as vessels or nerves. Instead, they create sweeping chest arcs, mountainous shapes across the back, and swirling butt loops.”

      NGL, a part of me wished they were visible, but I’m afraid we’d just invent new forms of racism.

    mine are visible, one just has to look closely. none of you are allowed to see tho.

      I have many visible stripes. But that’s just because I’m covered in tattooes from the neck down.

  Cool fact. Next time I get mauled by one I’ll just taunt them by calling them hairy zebras!

    uhm, Zebras have hair too

      I'm not sure that subtle nuances like that are going to affect the way the tiger responds to the taunt...

  1 hour border Collie had surgery, I saw that where her fur was white, the skin was pink, and where the fur was black, the skin was also black.

  Interesting side fact I learned from a podcast: It was Alan Turing who first had a theory about how the stripes are created. phys.org/…/2012-02-alan-turing-1950s-tiger-stripe…

  Need to confirm. Need to shave orange cat.

    As someone who used to give their maine coon a lion’s cut, can verify no stripes.

      My orange boy has had too many vet visits already (he’s a very special boy)

  A leopard can never change it’s spots,

  The big tiger will never change it’s stripes,

  A hound dog will never change his bark,

  And you can’t make a heel toe the mark.

  Fun fact: you know those spots some animals have, like leopards or dalmatians? Humans do not have them.

      Saw a great pic of that once, can’t remember how it was revealed, under what spectrum or whatever. Anyone?

      If you could figure out what your pattern was, and were the total body tattoo type, it would be cool as fuck to get a full body tattoo of your individual invisible (now visible, I guess) uniquely you skin pattern!
