Mother and baby zebras can find each other by thier stripes, and when the whole herd runs, the stripes confuse predators. No two stripes are alike on a zebra, and no zebra has the same stripe pattern as another. Their stripes help them to blend in with the tall grass and the heat waves. Most of their predators are color blind, so this is the perfect camouflage. The Moonbeams think that zebras do not have the same stripes because some zebras have stripes that are close together, some are further apart, and some have shadows.
Different zebras have different colored stripes.
There are different kinds of zebras. We researched the answer to this question by going to the Media Center and reading books about zebras. We also used our computer to find the answer on the internet. If they had the same stipes it would have to be a clone like Dolly the sheep. We also think that it might have something to do with the zebra's DNA and the way their fur grows.
