The function of the line patterns on the zebra

This animal is also called a striped horse because there is a pattern of black and white lines on the surface of his skin. The pattern of lines on the zebra is similar to a human fingerprint. Although it looks the same, actually every zebra has its own line patterns.

The pattern of lines on the zebra serves to disguise it from its predators. Its predator selects one of the zebra among the herds to eat. However, with the lines on the zebra, the predator will find it difficult to recognize the zebra to which he or she will be preyed. Especially when the zebra that diincarnya mingle in the herd because it will look as one unity.
