What animal has a disruptive coloration?
a Zebra
Describe disruptive coloration how does this work for zebras?
When a predator is trying to kill a zebra, it has to do it quickly. If it doesn't it could get hurt by the zebra's hooves. So the predator generally attacks the neck, with the jugular and other important areas. But a zebra travels in a herd, and when they are grouped close together, and especially when moving, it is hard to tell if a black and white stripe is a flank or a neck. This heightens the chance of survival for the zebra.
