Why do zebras have stripes?  For camouflage against their main predator – the lion.   Lions are colour-blind & when a zebra is standing still in tall grass, it can’t be seen.

Zebras live in savannas & grassland of South Africa. The further south on the African plains you go, the further apart their stripes are! The position of a zebra’s ears conveys their mood. Ears pushed forward mean a zebra is frightened. Ears back mean it is angry. Ears erect mean a zebra is calm.
