The story goes that zebra stripe patterns may help protect the animals from attack, by creating a visual natural defense. According to this theory, the stripes confuse predators attacking a zebra herd by making it difficult to distinguish one animal from the others. If only there were an easy way to demonstrate how that might be true in a photograph! (Plains Zebra - Equus quagga, Washinton National Zoological Park). French spelling is: "Moiré"

P.S.: I'm not sure lions subscribe to this theory ;<)

What is the Evidence for Evolution?

Plains zebras have a wide range in east and southern Africa. They usually live in treeless grasslands and savanna woodlands and are absent from deserts, rainforests, and wetlands. This species’ habitat is shrinking, however, and plains zebras are now extinct in Burundi and Lesotho.

Just loved the shapes and textures in the zebra skin and of course I am totally jealous of the eyelashes

Or it could have been a muddled huddle, or a huddled muddle. Sorry - couldn't resist. White stripes on black are the males, black stripes on white are the females; or is it the other way round? ;-) I have to admit I have this printed large and hanging on the wall and the more I look at it the more I like it.

Cropped in tight. Convert to B&W and a bit of dodge to darken the stripes. The original version is here: tinyurl.com/ygrqe4
