Every zebra has a unique pattern of stripes! A zebra’s stripes are much like our fingerprints, no two zebras are the same.
When the zebra is attacked by a predator, it has several ways to defend itself. If they see a predator, the herd will bunch together and all the predator will see is a maze of stripes and it won't be able to tell one zebra from another and will not be able to tell it's front from it's rear end.
