Camouflage (black and white stripes)
Speed, they can run fast when they need to
They are herd animals, grazing in a herd offers protection
Zebras stay together in a herd to have a smaller chance of getting attacked by predators like hyenas, lions, and leopards. A zebra herd usually has between 5 and 20 animals. Scientists think that the zebras stripes make a blur for predators so it will be harder for them to pick out a zebra to attack. This only works when there are a lot of zebras together. The stripes also make a zebra look bigger. There is a lot of danger for zebras. When crossing a river zebras have to watch out for alligators. Zebras do not have a defense against alligators. They just have to keep moving so they can get out of the river faster. Zebras have flexible ears. They can move them in all directions so they can hear things all around them. This is another way to avoid and escape from predators. Zebras also have a good sense of smell, good eyesight, and excellent hearing. All these senses help them to avoid predators.
