Zebra crossings on the road have black and white stripes in order that we can see them clearly. So you might think that having black and white stripes would make a real-life zebra a sitting target for animals that hunt zebras lived on their own, you would probably be right. But nature is cleverer than that. Zebras move about in herds. So when they are grouped together, their colouring makes a confusing pattern of mixed black and white stripes all moving in different directions at the same time. Any predator trying to single out one particular zebra for its next snack would get cross-eyed looking at that lot. That is what the zebras hope. As long as they keep together, their strange camouflage gives them great protection.
