Long time... :) Yes, they most definitely have keen eyesight, hearing, vicious kick and...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7E2YMsz7bY" rel="nofollow">bite</a>! Click on the link, it's quite remarkable! Love your theory Melvin, it surely must be confusing for predators! A little bit like the "Where's Waldo" books, except it's more like "Where's My Meal" in this case! ;) Cheers! Hey Melissa, thanks so much for your feedback! Long time… :)

I could add my own theory for having the stripes... When we were in Tanzania, I made a pic from about 5-6 zebras standing next to each other & the sides turned to us. It's quite hard to see where one zebra starts & where it ends & the next starts again. Perhaps that confuses a lion too when it attacks a group and suddenly there are more than it thought. The "one" (or 2 or 3) whole zebra, suddenly aparts to many more. All jumping in different directions. Which one to focus on? Great article with some good informations!

Makes perfect sense. They definitely have keen eyesight and hearing. They were often the first to notice us approaching and kept a greater distance between us than other animals.
