Meet London Zoo's four strong herd of Chapman's Zebra.

Scientists are not sure of the purpose of the zebra’s stripes. One theory is that the stripes confuse predators; in a herd of zebra it is difficult for a hunting lion to see the outline of an individual zebra – the stripes seem to merge across several animals. This is known as 'disruptive colouring'.
