Everyone recognises the tiger from its striped coat, but few people know these stripes extend through to the skin. The skin of the white tiger is a bluish color, also complete with stripes.
( I know its not a tiger but gives you an idea of what it looks like) The Sumatran tiger has the most stripes while the Amur (Siberian) has the fewest, but on average there are 100-150 stripes per animal. The Amur tiger's stripes are wider and lighter in colour than those of the other subspecies.
The striping on a tiger's forehead is often referred to by the Chinese as the mark of 'wang'or'king'.
