ELI5…. Zebras do not seem to blend in to their surroundings.
Why did they not evolve as a breed to be camouflaged?
How did these seemingly brightly colored animals survive predators?
In: Biology
They are camouflaged. Zebras coating makes them blend in fairly well against high grass, bushes and trees. Especially since many predators are colorblind.
It also camouflages them among each other in larger groups, making it hard for predators to pick out a single individual in larger groups of zebras.
