Researchers at Bristol University confirm that each feline wears the garment that best camouflages in their habitat. Images obtained through Internet browsers and those from websites that collect images of wild animals were used to carry out the research. They compared the size, shape and direction of the spots of each feline with their habitat, the size of the prey and the hunting season. The result is that they present spots of this type according to the habitat in which they live. Thus, the bearers of flakes live in forests; those who have strip-shaped spots, such as the tiger, move between tall herbs and those without marks, such as lions, in open areas.
