Tigers have spots like that to trick potential predators when drinking

As tigers usually attack from behind, wearing a mask with eyes on the back of the head works also to prevent tiger attacks.

They painted eyes on cows arses and it drastically reduced the number being taken by lions. Link

What the hell preys on a tiger? Because I don't want to meet one.

Big mean crocodile might eat one.

Cats have patches with thinner hair on the tops of their heads, so that to birds of prey above, they look as if they were awake and alert.

Putting the "cat" in "caterpillar" 🤌🏼

Either this is a Heyan-period cat, or eyespots mimetic.

I'm scared this might be fake. The way the color fades out is not natural, its a very smooth fad, while if it was differently colored fur the fade changes depending on the grain of the fur.

I suppose it could. They did have a couple of other pics from different angles that I didn’t use, but who knows.

[–] Melonpoly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It could've been taken while the cat was moving causing the demonising algorithm to smooth out the details.

They're his eyebrows
