What good is the strip?

The zebra strip is as unique as the man's fingerprint. To date, is it a question of why zebras are wearing stripes?

One theory is that stripes disrupt predators in hunting. When a lot of zebra beats into a crowd, then the hunter animal cannot decide which animal to begin with and where it ends.

Another suggestion is that the heat balance of the animals is regulated by the strips. Black and white stripes attract sunlight differently from each other and air currents develop around the animal due to different temperatures, which is a natural cooling method for the animal. The assumption has been overthrown and this has also been proved by an experiment.

Black and white cattle ~, horse ~, and a zebra barrel with a metal barrel with water. The black leather covered barrel warmed up the best, maybe it wasn't anyone, and the white was less hot. The zebra-coated barrel did not differ significantly from the two extremes, which proved that the function of the strips was certainly not cooling.

Knowing this, it is more likely that the stripes help to disrupt.
