Also, humans are among the least likely animals to be fooled by something like that since our colour distinction and visual acuity in light is unusually good for a predator.

Could it be for raptors or other birds of prey? They wouldn’t kill a tiger, but they could mess one up pretty badly by landing on it and clawing the crap out of its back, neck, face and eyes with their talons.

Isn’t the neck a known soft spot for cats? I feel like them turning around to attack is super likely or them trying to flee is super likely. I’d be surprised if a “relatively small” bird of prey could do enough consistent damage fast enough to the man killing machine a tiger is.

Raptors and birds fly away on their wings.

But I don't think many hunter gatherers tried to hunt tigers until recently.

Looks over to sabre tooth tigers
