Abstract:
From eminent biologists like Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin to famous authors such as Rudyard Kipling in his 'Just So Stories', many people have asked, 'Why do zebras have stripes?' There are many explanations, but until now hardly any have been seriously addressed or even tested. In 'Zebra Stripes', Tim Caro takes readers through a decade of painstaking fieldwork examining the significance of black-and-white striping and, after systematically dismissing every hypothesis for these markings with new data, he arrives at a surprising conclusion: zebra markings are nature's defense against biting fly annoyance.
