Welcome to Day 11 of my July trivia posts.*
Trivia: Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur.
This is true, but as always, there is more to this simple fact since other animals also have skin that is colored.
Zebras have black skin, but it is not striped. Polar bears also have black skin, but their fur has no color. (Did you think it was white?)
Cheetahs (considered a small cat and related to house cats) have spotted skin, but the spots may not match their fur pattern exactly.
Tigers and snow leopards are large cats, and not only do they have striped skin, but the stripes on their fur match the pattern on their skin. I guess beautiful stripes are skin deep.
I give this trivia a 10 out of 10. The trivia is true, and I love learning about animals.
*I’m doing something hard (for me) in July that I don’t want to talk about until August (in case I fail.) This something takes a lot of time, so I’m simplifying my July posts. I’m using a list of trivia that Aunt Patti emailed me. Each day, I will explore a trivia fact and bring you the truth, not just the clickbait. I might even rate the trivia. I think this will be fun because I love exploring new topics and sharing them with you. I hope you learn something too. If you do, why not share it with a friend. One of my goals is to get more readers, and word of mouth is a great way to do that. Many thanks.
