Orange tigers:
Orange is the standard colour for the tiger. All other colours are caused by recessive genes (white), or sometimes by inbreeding (black).Tigers are never 'just orange' and depending upon subspecies the hue varies. The Amur tiger is more gold than orange The now extinct Balinese tiger was a particularly dark, deep orange. Even the orange may vary a great deal and in the Sumatran it ranges from reddish-yellow, through to a deep orange, and on into reddish-brown colourings.
For the tiger, its orange with black stripes makes it a powerful predator. Combine that with a sudden speed, a prey would find it difficult to escape.
However, as tigers are heavy, they use too much energy when chasing a prey and many animals, like the gazelle and sambar, if they knew early enough that a tiger was nearby, they would be able to outrun the tiger. Therefore, camouflage is important for the tiger, the camouflage helps it to get close enough to its prey so that there is little chance of it running away.
