What’s Weird About This Tiger

From Cleo Abram.

Notice anything weird about this tiger? Its stripes are way darker than a typical tiger!

That’s because of a mutation that we’re seeing a LOT of now because of what scientists call the “bottleneck effect”…

While this mutation doesn’t seem to hurt the tigers, it could have been a harmful genetic disease…

For the tigers, scientists moved in healthy tigers from other areas… but for other animals, they’re trying gene editing…
