      I thought the stripes were actually camouflage and they’re just monochromatic because the things they’re hiding from have poor color vision.

        The truth is we don’t actually know because the zebras don’t want us to:

        So, the question why zebras have stripes have proven very difficult and not without risks – Stephen Cobb has been bitten in the arm and admitted to hospital twice. Despite the extra vigour of recent work, the answer remains inconclusive.

    There’s some accounts throughout history, but humans generally leave them alone. They’re aggressive creatures surrounded by even more aggressive killing machines. So it stands to reason that an animal in that environment would be pretty tough to tame.

      It has to do with social structures from what I read a while ago.

      Horses have a hierarchical structure and zebras don’t.

      Literally everything in Africa has evolved to run away from humans, because when animals hear human speech and don’t run away they get eaten or domesticated.

      When you look at a map of domesticated animals origins, not a single one comes from Africa. All the animals there know what humans are like no matter how we try fooling them.

        Brother, a moose can ride whatever it damn well pleases. But I’d rather not get into the personal stuff, if you don’t mind.

      Spoken like someone who knows nothing about zebras. They’re not striped because of camouflage; that’s their prison uniform, and they are all violent offenders.

        There’s not many animals that haven’t been domesticated because they’re cunts. And zebras are one.

        Hm it’s not a fake picture apparently but the situation is definitely not as implied.

          Did expect: self defense. Did not expect: eventually the croc wins, also all the other zebras just walking by.

        crocs are damn scary. They once ripped off an oar from our boat…freaking scary ass moment. Dad chased it off with the other oar. If Jurassic Park were real, crocs are a glimpse of that.
