What animal has black and white stripes? I wouldn't be surprised if you answered, "the zebra." To humans, the zebra is very noticeable with its black and white stripes. The zebra's stripes, however, actually help hide it. This is because its number one enemy, the lion, is color blind. If a lion came along while a zebra was standing in tall grass, the zebra would remain unseen. The pattern of the zebra's stripes would blend in with the patterns of the grass. Therefore, the zebra is actually a master of disguise. Don't misjudge its talents!
