Passage Summary: Zebras have bright black-and-white stripes that stand out against their environment, yet they survive even though their main predators can see these stripes clearly.

Reasoning: N/A

Analysis: We are faced with an evolutionary puzzle where a seemingly disadvantageous trait—high visibility—does not prevent the species from thriving. To resolve this paradox, we need a piece of information that explains why these stripes are actually beneficial or why they don't help lions catch them. Perhaps the stripes serve a purpose other than camouflage, such as confusing a predator's sense of motion during a chase. Look for an answer that provides a survival benefit that outweighs the cost of being easily spotted.
