I did know that about tigers. I believe their stripes are as individual as fingerprints too.
And how I wish that our wind was gentle - a zephyr- rather than the howling gales we are getting.

A breeze, a gentle breeze.
I didn't know that about tigers. Do you have a striped cat to shave so we can check if it is true of other felines?

Hi Sandra - yes about Zephyr - I used it in one of my A-Zs if not two! But tiger stripes ... nope hadn't realised that ... interesting, cheers Hilary

I am hoping for a zephyr to gently part the tiger’s fur so that I can get a glimpse of its stripy skin. I wish to do this from an elephant’s back, with the aid of my binoculars. That’s as close as I want to get to a tiger!

That's interesting about the stripey skin. I didn't know that!

Birgit said...

No lo sabía, te mando un beso.

Good job on knowing the answer, EC. Zephyr good. Howling gales bad.

Andrew, That first line would be a great opener to a poem:)
On the shaved cats, I can say when Frank is shaved down, he's gray and white and when his fur grows out, it's brown and white. Do you think, he's coloring his hair?:) Heh.

Sandra Cox said...

David, Sounds like the way to go:)

Sandra Cox said...

Who'd a thought? Right, Jeanie?
