Why zebras have stripes?

Zebras have unique black and white stripes that help them hide from predators. When a group of zebras runs together, their stripes make it hard for a predator to pick out just one zebra.

⭐ Bonus fact: Every zebra has a different stripe pattern, like how every person has unique fingerprints.
