I'm going on holiday to Cambodia in February. Guess I'll bring my body paint supplies and run around in war stripes over my body.

I'm about to start dressing like beetlejuice

Time to dust off my old timey prison outfit

Moobra

Some horse fly blankets and hoods have a zebra pattern, probably for the same reason.

In the cited study with buckets, it was shown that striped and spotted surfaces attract fewer flies.

That makes me think if Nguni cattle have an easier time with those pests.

If yes, that would be another plus for hardy landraces in place of overengineered, capitalmaxxed breeds.

Tha smartest mother fucker in the room

Why are the top comments in a science community so proudly anti-intellectual?

That one zoo that painted a donkey and tried to pass it off as a zebra were just way ahead of their time

If you say Beeflejuice three times....

Awesome. Now narrow down the mechanism with further research.

Why has evolution let these cows down?

So, I was able to convince a coworker that I had a friend who worked at our nearby zoo, and that my friend let me in on the secret that zebras aren't real, they're just horses painted to look like that, "big zoo is lying to us to get our money," you know.

Well, long story short I'm gonna need to steal this image from you and crop it, thanks.

Reminds me of a donkey I saw in Mexico painted like a zebra trying to trick tourists
