Description
I took this at the Los Angeles Zoo and loved how this turned out. These Zebras lined up for me nicely. Zebras are wild relatives of donkeys and horses. Although horses are taller, heftier, and faster, zebras have dazzling stripes and lots of attitude! The stripe pattern of each zebra is as unique as individual human fingerprints, and zebras use them to identify one another. While some think the stripes serve to camouflage individuals and confuse predators, new research shows that stripes may have evolved to keep away biting flies that carry diseases. The stripes seem to disorient the flies’ low-resolution vision and keep them from landing.
