Zebras have black and white stripes so lions and other animals can't see them easily. The Zebra is the most striped of all prey animals. The patterned stripes protect individuals because ALL those stripes running together make it difficult for the predator to distinguish ONE individual among all those stripes.
Other animals that use stripes for camouflage are the striped antelope of the African plains, like the Kudo, and Bongo. Fish also make use of stripes for camouflage. Small animals like gophers and ground squirrels also have striped patterns to help them hide in the leaf litter.
