SCHLEICH 14810 Wild Life Zebra mare

Zebras are mammals of the equine family native to central and southern Africa. According to zoologists, the stripes are for camouflage. The stripes can help the zebra hide in the grass. At first this does not sound plausible, since the grass is not black and white, but it still makes sense, since the zebra's primary predator, the lion, is color blind. A zebra standing motionless in tall grass is virtually invisible to a lion.
