Predators of the zebra are confused as to the distance at which their actual prey animal is to be found- the zebra stay in groups called herds, so visually, they all blend together as one. When the zebra are standing still, the predator is not sure which direction the zebra is facing.
Since zebras travel in herds, it creates a sort of illusion when they run/walk. it tricks predators into thinking that's it is one big animal instead of smaller animals.
