The spots might be helpful for baby tigers?

All models are wrong, but some are useful. Thinking of evolved features as having a purpose is wrong, but it is also incredibly useful.

Why do we have eyes? In some sense, there is no reason, just a sequence of random coincidences, combined with a slightly non-randon bias refered to as "survival of the fittest" (itself an incorrect model).

However, saying that we have eyes to see has incredible explanatory power, which makes it a useful model. Just like Newton's law of Universal gravity. We've known it that is wrong for a century at this point, but most of the time still talk as if it's true, because it is useful.

Yes, they did though. That's the purpose of this evolutionary trait. I see what you're getting at, but you seem to be implying this was a concidence

I hear what you're saying, and you're 100% correct, but I think most people will realize it's a figure of speech, and easier to say than "Via the process of gene mutation trial and error over many, many generations of Tigers, spots have developed on their ears that look like eyes, resulting in predation from behind being discourged."

Well that begs the question what the hell drove the short face bear to extinction? The long face bear?

Who knew wild dogs could be such dholes

my new head canon is that tigers are so fed up with asiatic wild dogs that they started calling them d holes

umm... hornier?

Tigers with horns 😨😨 ?
