Zebras are distinctive black and white striped coats. Their stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. there are many theories on utility of  the stripes as some form of camouflage.
The patterns may make it difficult for predators to identify a single animal from a running herd or control body heat by generating small-scale breezes over the zebra's body when light and dark stripes heat up at different rates or stripes may also help zebras recognize one another or avoid nasty bites from disease-carrying flies. Zebras are social animals they live in small family groups these units may combine with others to form large herds.
