Hi there! Did you know that zebras have black-and-white stripes on their bodies? These stripes aren't just for looking cool – they help keep pesky flies away!
Here’s how it works:
- Flies like to land on animals to bite and bother them.
- But zebras have stripes that confuse the flies. When the flies try to land, the stripes make it hard for them to see where to go!
- This makes the flies get confused and they fly away instead of biting the zebra.
So, the black-and-white stripes act like a special shield that helps zebras stay comfortable and fly-free. Isn't that amazing?
