Zebras are African equines with distinctive black-and-white striped coats.

- making it difficult to determine an individual's outline when the group runs away;
- The confusion hypothesis states that the stripes confuse predators, be it by: making it harder to distinguish individuals in a group as well as determining the number of zebras in a group;
- They suggested that stripes may give zebras an advantage in woodlands, as the dark stripes could line up with the outlines of tree branches and other vegetation.
- They also found that the stripes do not make the zebra less noticeable than solidly coloured herbivores on the open plains.
- Melin and colleagues (2016) found that lions and hyenas do not appear to perceive the stripes when they are a certain distance away at daytime or nighttime, thus making the stripes useless in blending in except when the predators are close enough by which they could smell or hear their target.

- A 1987 Fourier analysis study concluded that the spatial frequencies of zebra stripes do not line up with their environment, while a 2014 study of wild equine species and subspecies could not find any correlations between striping patterns and woodland habitats.

- In addition, the camouflaging stripes of woodland living ungulates like bongos and bushbucks are much less vivid with less contrast with the background colour.
- Zebras graze in open habitat and do not behave cryptically, being noisy, fast, and social and do not freeze when a predator is near.
- Alfred Wallace also wrote in 1896 that stripes make zebras less noticeable at night.
- This was the earliest hypothesis and proponents argued that the stripes were particularly suited for camouflage in tall grassland and woodland habitat.
- The crypsis hypothesis suggests that the stripes allow the animal to blend in with its environment or break up its outline.
- The function of stripes in zebras has been discussed among biologists since at least the 19th century.
- The quagga had brown and white stripes on the head and neck, brown upper parts and a white belly, tail and legs.
- Albino zebras have been recorded in the forests of Mount Kenya, with the dark stripes being blonde.
- Striping abnormalities have been linked to inbreeding.
- There have even been morphs with white spots on dark backgrounds.
- "Spotted" individuals have broken up black stripes around the dorsal area.

- In "melanistic" zebras, dark stripes are highly concentrated on the torso but the legs are whiter.
- Thank you, Istanbul. We love you! 👻

- Various abnormalities of the patterns have been documented in plains zebras.

- The difference in timing is thought to be responsible for the differences in the striping patterns of the different species.
- However, this happens at three weeks of development for the plains zebra, four weeks for the mountain zebra, and five for Grévy's zebra.

- For each species there is a point in embryonic development where the stripes are perpendicular to the dorsal line and spaced 0.4 mm (0.016 in) apart.
- Today, we proudly introduce ourselves as Avara.
Avara is the home to some of the most innovative web3 brands: Aave, Lens Protocol, GHO, Sonar, and now Family, all building towards a people powered internet that benefits all.
We're thrilled to announce the acquisition of Family. With Family, led by Benji Taylor, we're reinforcing our commitment to making web3 accessible through world class product design.

- We rewrote the code and added some features.
Now go build.

- During embryonic development, the stripes appear at eight months, but the patterns may be determined at three to five weeks.
- Striping patterns are unique to an individual and heritable.
- The stripes on the legs, ears and tail are separate and horizontal.
- On the rump, they develop into species-specific patterns.
- Lenny is heading to Devconnect and @lens/ethglobal İstanbul
- On the snout they curve toward the nostrils, while the stripes above the front legs split into two branches.
- A dorsal line acts as the backbone for vertical stripes along the sides, from the head to the rump.
- Young or foals are born with brown and white coats, and the brown darkens with age.
- Young or foals are born with brown and white coats, and the brown darkens with age.
- The coat appears to be white with black stripes, as indicated by the belly and legs when unstriped, but the skin is black.
- Zebras are easily recognised by their bold black-and-white striping patterns.
- For other uses, see Zebra stripe.
- less conspicuous postorbital bar, separation of the metaconid and metastylid of the tooth by a V-shaped canal and rounded enamel wall.
- its relatively small size with a straight dorsal outline, protruding eye sockets, narrower rostrum,

- In contrast to other living equines, zebra have longer front legs than back legs.
- Unlike horses, zebras and asses have chestnut callosities present only on their front legs.
- Their moderately long, erect ears are movable and can locate the source of a sound.
