Africa’s Amazing Mysteries – Episode 6: Why Do Zebras Have Stripes?
Black stripes on white, or white stripes on black? Zebra stripes have fascinated scientists for many years! Discover this amazing mystery in the latest episode of Africa's Amazing Mysteries.
Zebras live on the African savannah, and every zebra has a unique stripe pattern, just like human fingerprints. Scientists believe the stripes may help keep biting insects, such as horseflies, away because they find it harder to land on striped coats. The stripes may also help zebras recognize one another or confuse predators when the herd moves together.
Although researchers are still studying this mystery, one thing is certain: zebra stripes are one of Africa’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
Watch the new ANAKids episode and uncover the secret behind the zebra’s stripes!
