Adaptations
Camouflage
Zebras predators get confused by zebras stripes so when they look in a certain area that has zebras they cannot clearly see. As their predators get confused by their stripes they blend in and the predators can't see them to well. But if the predators sense movement they can then realize that there are zebras there.
Food
Zebras have adapted so that they can go a few days without food. So if food is scarce they can hang on with out it for a while the same for water. Their teeth are adapted for grazing so they spend time grazing.
Hearing and Vision
Zebras have good eyesight and hearing. So they can easily sense when a predator is near. Zebras also have a call so when they sense danger they "call" to warn other zebra.
Speed
Zebras are fast runners and can sometimes outrun their predators if they are lucky. They can run up to speeds of about 40mph.
Do not attract flies
It is also thought that the stripes on a zebra confuses horse flies. So horseflies do not get attracted to the zebra. Horse flies sometimes carry diseases that can effect the zebras health.
