Do my rump stripes look attention-grabbing in this?

Our pursuit simulations suggest that driving predator attention to the rear should decrease chances of capture by lions and hyaenas.

Simulating lion and spotted hyaena vision human observers judged that their attention was most captured by the zebra's rear..

Rump stripes are typically broader than others and horizontal...

so may remain conspicuous to predators at distance or in motion...
December 3, 2025 at 11:53 AM
How did the zebra get its stripes?
Biting flies, it's widely assumed...

but stripes are not all the same...

Unpalatable, but def not absurd, imo.

Hope you reverse Greens v Reform showing
in polls - that would change each voter's choice.
