Answer 11

Ok, the truth is that TIGERS have striped skin.  I have worked with Tigers at Zoo's for many years and it was not until I got to participate with a surgery that I saw that their skin is striped also.  When you shave all of the hair off, the skin still has the stripes, How cool.

Answer 12

All felines have skin patterns matching their fur pattern
