.Tigers have distinctive white circular spots on the backside of their ears. There are two ideas as to the function of these eyespots. One of which is that they function as "false eyes"; making the tiger seem bigger and watchful to a potential predator attacking from the rear. The other idea is that they play a role in aggressive communication because when threatened tigers may twist their ears around so that the backs face forward. This prominently displays the distinctive white markings. The function of the white markings is probably a combination of both ideas

The spots on the back of a tiger's ears are thought to act as a form of false eyes to deter potential predators or threats. When the tiger feels threatened, it may flatten its ears, displaying the spots to make itself appear larger and more intimidating.
Leopard sharks are known for their distinctive spots, which are present along their bodies. These spots serve as a form of camouflage to help them blend in with their surroundings as they hunt for prey.
Answer this question…How many bones in a tiger
As far as I've read a hybrid between a Leopard and a Tiger is called a Dogla. Leopard and Jaguar are two different big cats, don't know what a cross between a Jaguar and Tiger is called, or a Jaguar and a Leopard for that matter. Hope this helps. There have been no reported true hybrids of a leopard and tiger. Sometimes Ligers can keep their spots from childhood, causing a spotted/stripped look.
The insect you are describing is likely the cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae). The adults have a white fuzzy head with black spots and their wings are white with black spots as well. They are known to feed on poisonous ragwort plants in their caterpillar stage.

Do you mean "How the Leopard Got His Spots"? Rudyard Kipling wrote it.
Yes, tiger barbs and tetras can coexist in the same aquarium, but it is important to provide enough space and hiding spots to prevent aggression from the tiger barbs.
It is a part of aging skin. You see when a tiger salamander is about to shed it wont move much. If you look closely your tiger salamander, it will look very ugly. Black spots all over its skin, and dark color. But dont worry. A few days later the tiger salamander will shed and it will be in its normal skin color again. I hope this helped. I wish you and your salamander good luck!
It helps them blend into their surroundings. It is like their camouflage. Cheetahs, Leopards and Servals are some cats that have spots, although the Leopard is the only big cat to have spots.
Well tigers and leopards are both big cats, but Tigers have stripes, and leopards have spots.
