What adaptations do zebras have to help them survive?

  • Their stripe pattern serves as camouflage and may also help to cool the animal down and confuse predators.
  • They have one toe on each foot, which makes them the best runners in loose dirt.
  • They have large ears that swivel around so they can hear predators.
  • They also have long tails that help to keep bugs away.
  • Males have a pair of sharp canine teeth for fighting.
  • They have a simple stomach so they can digest coarse material, so they are not as affected by drought as other grazers.
