The identical coloration of tigers and bees is no random coincidence, without any significance. The real reason for this pun of evolution is actually quite astounding, almost beyond belief.

The simple truth is that the animal that the world knows as a "tiger" has never existed. The true nature of this creature is revealed if you are brave enough to give it a good shake. Once you have done so, you will witness an incredible transformation: the tiger will begin crumbling into pieces until there is nothing left of it, not even a piece of hide, and in its place...thousands upon thousands of bees will appear, as if out of nowhere, buzzing angrily and flying off in all directions.

For you see, a tiger is not a genuine animal. Rather, it is a great collection of Africanised honey bees, also known as killer bees, that have formed themselves into the shape of a tiger. They use this particular configuration to satisfy their great hunger for fresh meat.

All the characteristics of a tiger can be easily explained by this state of affairs: the tiger's roar is really the collective humming of countless bees; the colour of its stripes comes from the hue of bees' bodies; its sharp teeth and claws are, in fact, bees' stingers and its ferocity is due to the notoriously aggressive nature of the killer bees.
