Best Answer
  • Black and white stripes to allow it to blend in with each other and cause confusion to a predator
  • Teeth to bite with and feet to kick out at a predator
  • Ability to run/walk and travel long distances, traveling same distances that wildebeest must travel to seek new grazing areas
  • A digestive system to help it digest and utilize the coarse grasses it grazes
  • Strong herd instinct, better to protect themselves and each other from predators

The structural adaptations of the zebra include distinctive markings, long powerful legs and strong incisor teeth. The stripes make it hard to distinguish individuals in a pack, the legs allow movement at 40 MPH and the teeth allow them to leave terrible bites on their enemies.
