If lions dominate the wildlife in Africa, tigers are the kings among wild animals in Asia. They live from the high mountain peaks in Himalaya to Russia and rainforests of Southeast Asia. A tiger’s stripes resemble human’s fingerprints. They are all different in every tiger. Furthermore, they help a tiger to hide itself in the dark and the shadow of a jungle, making it invisible to its prey. Also for this gorgeous furry coat, tigers have been poached to extinction and captured for entertaining purposes. Fortunately, the efforts in tiger conservation are still processing well as the species’ population has been increasing steadily.
#2. Zebra

The zebra is also well-known among 5 animals with stripes in this list. They are actually the closest relatives to domesticated horses and ponies in the wild, other than wild horses. They are native to Central and South Africa. Many of us consider zebras to be white with black stripes. Actually their fur’s base color is white with black stripes above. This species is also threatened for lack of food source and reduction of natural habitat due to human’s activities.

Unlike the three above species, out of 5 animals with stripes listed, the chipmunk has horizontal stripes on its back. These rodents are found in Asia and North America which are adapted to city lives as well as the wildlife.
