A Striped Zebra on Grassy Ground
The illustration shows a zebra displaying its erect mane, pointed ears, distinct body stripes, and a tufted tail while standing over grass. Zebras housed in modern zoo enclosures inhabit spacious outdoor areas designed to recreate savannas.
The Purpose of Zebra Stripes
While zebra stripes appear prominent to human eyes, they serve as effective protection against biting flies and bloodsucking insects. Additionally, when a herd moves together, the dazzling optical effect makes it difficult for predators to single out an individual animal.

- Mane: Short upright hair with alternating black and white bands
- Muzzle and nose: Smooth dark charcoal or solid black
