How do zebras keep safe from predators if they are close by?
A zebras stripes are actually camouflage to a colorblind lion. If they are standing still a lion can completely overlook it.
Why does a zebra have stripes?
The reason I have heard is basically to confuse predators when charging into a herd of zebras. The rapid movement of the black and white stripes somehow makes it harder for the predator to focus on just one animal, increasing the zebras' chances of getting away.They are used as camouflage. Colorblind animals confuse the stripes with tall grass in the savannah.Zebras are black or dark skinned animals with large white stripes and blotches to give camouflage from its predators. Some Zebras have shadow stripes between the white and black coloring.It is believed that zebras are black animals with white detail for three main reasons. The first is that white equidae would not be able to survive well in the plains or forests of Africa. Secondly, the extinct species of plain zebra, known as the Quagga, had the white stripes of zebras today on the front of their bodies, but a dark colored rump. The third reason is based on the shadow stripes. When the pigmented white band becomes to wide, a secondary stripe starts to emerge. The idea that some zebras have white under bellies and legs is not thought to be evidence of an overall light color, since many animals of different colors have white or lighter colored bellies and legs.The stripes tend to be vertical on the head, neck, forequarters, and main body, with horizontal stripes on the legs and rear end.It has been suggested by some zoologists that the stripes act as a complex camouflage mechanism. The virtual striped allow the zebra to hide in grassland. To our eyes this seems absurd, as the vivid black and white coloring stands out against the grass and the zebra does not appear very hidden. However, a zebras main predator is the lion, an animal noted for its color blind sight, so theatricality a zebra standing in grass will not be noticed by a lion.Also, as the zebras move and run in herds, the stripes may help to confuse predators, since a number of zebras moving and standing close together can appear as one large animal, making it very difficult for the lion to pick out a single zebra to attack.As the herd of zebras scatter to avoid a predator, the vertical stripes traveling in multiple directions creates a confusing mask, making it much harder for the lion to track individual animals. However biologists have never observed a lion being confused by the zebra stripes in this way.The zebras stripes are also believed to play a role in their sexual attractions, as the slight variation of stripes allows the animal to distinguish between individuals. Now two zebras have the same stripes. It is also thought that any wounds the zebra receives disrupts the striping pattern and indicates the fitness of the individual to other members of the herd and potential mates..Recently, zoologists have found that the disruptive coloration of the stripes can effect the visual system of the Tsetse fly, a blood sucking insect. There is experimental evidence for this theory, it is however a little limited.Alternative theories are concerned with stripes coinciding with fat patterns beneath the skin. This would serve as a thermo-regulatory mechanism for the zebra, meaning that the stripe allow the zebra to control their body temperature.The way the Common Zebras have stripes is unusually natural or casually used to hypnotize other predators, like the leopard. Sometimes, it always cannot help out when in danger but can ward off hyenas who may steal the prey or possibly flinch in any situation.
