You said: 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. Aaron Felker _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
