Although zebra's black-and-white stripes are very obvious to human eyes, for predators with only black-and-white stripes, black-and-white stripes help to disperse the external contours, making it difficult for predators to lock individuals. More evidence shows that black-and-white stripes can make predators and other pests less exposed to them.

Black and white stripes can also regulate body temperature and form a natural air conditioning system, because white can reflect light and cool down, and black can absorb heat. In the head, neck and front half, zebra stripes are mainly upright, while in the half and feet, the stripes are horizontal.

Extended data:

Zebras are highly socialized animals. Different species have different social composition. The plain zebra and the mountain zebra have a "family" structure, and each "family" also has a male zebra, as many as six female zebras and their children.

Some unmated male zebras will live alone or with other male zebras until they are able to challenge males with "families". When the zebra herd is attacked by hyenas or wild dogs, adult zebras will form a circle and put underage zebras in the circle, and its leader will protect its spouse and children.
