This is accomplished in several ways. First, the vertical striping helps the zebra hide in grass. <br>At first glance, this may seem absurd considering that grass is neither white nor black, but it makes sense because the zebra's main predator, the lion, is colour blind. Now it makes sense only if you mention this point it doesnt does it?<br><br>A zebra standing still in tall grass may not be noticed at all by a lion. However, zebras are herd animals and do not commonly travel alone, so the second way the stripes help in camouflage is by confusing the lion - many zebras standing or moving close together may appear as one large animal, making it more difficult for the lion to pick out any single zebra to attack. The normal lion attacks are nullified. <br>In answer to your equation question, the poor North American Puma found that out to its extinction that it had no forecast to future events and nature leaves it all to nature to reach its own sucessfull conclusion.

Mr. Darwin actually claimed, " “It is not the strongest of the species that survives,nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most ADAPTABLE to change.” With almost a third of Americans involved in either caregiving or needing some degree of care or help, I for one have sure never seen 'nature, in cooperation with evolution' ever help me transfer Patti from her wheelchair to a bed. <grin><br><br>Caregivingly Yours, Patrick<br>http://journals.aol.com/daddyleer/CaregivinglyYours/<br>http://lairofcachalot.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655038913540975453.post-37472330664130479622008-03-11T12:38:00.000-04:002008-03-11T12:38:00.000-04:00Next week, I'll be at the San Diego Zoo with a...Next week, I'll be at the San Diego Zoo with a grandchild............I'm really going to look into the orangutans and gorillas eyes and view the stripes of the zebra differently.

I don't think any species was created, or has evolved with specific markings toward extinction. I think the very openess of the word evolve is what has decided, and will continue to decide what goes where when. That makes God easy for me. ;) C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655038913540975453.post-43143074593940893072008-03-13T06:52:00.000-04:002008-03-13T06:52:00.000-04:00Oh Cathy, once again you give some serious punch t...Oh Cathy, once again you give some serious punch to your writing and conversations with us.
