TseTse-fly won't see them, but lions probably better.

(re: zebras and their stripes)

I don't think that a zebra's stripes have anything to do with tsetse flies
seeing them.  The stripes are a group oriented camouflage that is especially
usefull to a herd animal.  When the zebras are grouped together (as they
usually are) it can be somewhat difficult to pick out *one* zebra, which is
precisely what most predators are looking to do.  That is, to find a likely
prospect and isolate it.
