Examples from literature

• A zebra baby can walk about 15 minutes after it’s born. 
• Although scientists don’t yet know the exact reason for the pattern, one theory is that when many zebras run together in a group, they make a pattern which is visually confusing. 
• Another theory suggests that zebra stripes are actually very effective in hiding the animal in long grass because lions are in fact colorblind! 
• But baby zebras can run and stay near their mother and the other adult zebras. 
• It looks like a kind of horse or zebra, but it’s not related to either of them. 
• Lions love to eat baby zebras. 
• So, a zebra’s stripes help it to survive. 
• This makes it difficult for predators, such as lions, to identify one zebra to attack.
