Why not? If you still manage to pull off ninja duties even in white, you win at life...

Surely the answer is, lying down, a cross between a pedestrian crossing and a speed hump?

The right answer is that others wear what they can, ninjas wear what they want :ninja:

Black is simply the most slimming of the ninja fall line up.

Zebras are MORE ninja then the horse, about 50%, but the real ninja horse are the actual Ninja Horse. Never seen one you say? Myth you say? They're doing their job.

Actually Zebras are camouflaged excellently towards lions since they can only see b/w!

And you'd never notice it standing next to a white fence at night either :p

But surely this is madness! if your predator can only see black and white then ...It's just madness, it'd be like disguising yourself as a pizza in the hope that I would not notice you!

Personally if I were a zebra I'd be like, yellow & turquoise or something.

Yeah my little bro told me (he's 10) that zebra's are black and white because something do with lions vision - so if they sit in grass, the nubs can't see the zebra's due to the stripes..

BS?

I think it has something to do when they run in packs, having such a pattern makes it difficult for predators to single out one Zebra. So obviously they aren't the ninja of horses. Then they would welcome the Lions and beat them to their death!

lol well from the things I have seen on nauture docs and read its because the pattern of the zebra's actually make distinguishing a single animal difficult (I was joking about the B&W thing btw) and keeps them safe when they are all together.

Madagascar posed an interesting dilemma - are the zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?

It was not really Madagascar who came up with that, but i think the real scientist nowadays think they are black with white stripes despite their bellys being white.

Lisa Smith, Curator of Large Mammals at Zoo Atlanta, reports that the coat is "often described as black with white stripes." This makes sense since the pattern is a result of pigment activation (black) and inhibition (white). That means black is the actual color of the fur, and the white patches are simply the areas that lack pigmentation [source: Camazine]. To top it off, most zebras have dark skin beneath their fur [source: Smith].
