Hi! Did you know that zebras have black and white stripes on their bodies? These stripes are not just for looking cool — they actually help zebras stay safe and comfortable!
One reason zebras aren’t bothered much by flies is because their stripes confuse the flies. When many flies try to land on a zebra, the stripes make it hard for the flies to see where to land properly. The stripes create a kind of optical trick, making the zebra look like it’s moving or harder to focus on.
This means fewer flies bother the zebra, so it feels better and can relax more. So, the black-and-white stripes are like a special magic pattern that helps keep flies away. Isn’t that amazing?
