Zebra's secret weapon: A quiet order backlog It looks like Zebra is building up a uniquely quiet backlog -- not of unfilled orders, but of surefire orders yet to be placed.

The zebra’s distinctive appearance has been the source of much scientific debate, from its role in predator confusion, to how it can to deter horsefly bites. And recently, it was found that the ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have found why zebra fur is thinly striped and sharply outlined. Their findings, published today in the Journal of Experimental Biology, reveal that stark ...

At worst, they transmit disease. Scientists have known since the 1980s that zebra stripes repel flies, and many believe that zebras evolved their distinctive stripes because of this advantage.

Therefore, the stripes most certainly evolved because of some benefit they gave the zebra.

Horseflies misjudge landings on zebra patterns, compared with solid gray or black surfaces, which provides evidence for why evolution came up with the black-and-white pattern.

Stripes acting to confuse predators is another common explanation, but it too is flawed when looking at the scientific data. Instead, mounting evidence suggests that it is parasitic flies that are ...
