TIL that deer see the color orange as green so it's hard for them to spot tigers. So many years I wondered, the tiger looks so gorgeous, but how the hell does it not get spotted a mile away? Nothing around is that color in India!

Btw this learning came from Netflix's #Lifeincolor by David Attenborough. So cool to see how different animals and insects see the visual spectrum so differently from us.

I feel so vindicated cos I argued (very respectfully) with a couple of teachers about this a lot. 😂😂 Like come on, how can a predator be that gorgeous and striking? How? And they would be like, brown orange soil and I'm like nah, that works for lions. Tigers be bright! 1

I wonder if the few human victims of tigers over the ages have been color blind. 🤔
