Recently, I read an article on South Africa’s News24 about the latest hypothesis on why Zebras have stripes. Long story short, apparently “blood-feeding flies shun stripey surfaces and prefer instead to land on uniform colours.”
I don’t know when this latest science will be replaced by another, but in the meantime I’ll be the strange-looking American dressed like a football referee in the bush.
Happy Over-the-Hump Day, Readers! Hope you’ve enjoyed these couple zebra photos we took in Kruger National Park last winter.
Love, Marla
After this looooong winter we had, I’d definitely have to make sure I wear my zebra stripes verticle!! Haha. 😉
