One of the characters named Marty is the iconic main character who is a zebra. Just like in the film, we can find zebras in zoos or in their natural habitat, namely grasslands, savannas, forests or bushes in Africa. This animal, with a unique body pattern in the form of black and white stripes, lives in groups. But have you ever thought about how zebras recognize their mothers? Aren&#8217;t zebras all the same?

The word \u201czebra\u201d was first coined around 1600 and comes from the Latin \u201c <em>equiferus<\/em> \u201d which means wild horse. This term is a combination of the words &#8221; <em>equus<\/em> &#8221; which means horse and &#8221; <em>ferus<\/em> &#8221; which means wild or wild. The word &#8221; <em>equiferus<\/em> &#8221; was later absorbed into Portuguese to become \u201c <em>ezebro<\/em> \u201d or \u201c <em>zebro<\/em> \u201d which means &#8220;mysterious and wild <em>equus<\/em> &#8220;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For an ethnic group in South Africa called the Shona tribe, the zebra is an animal that is revered because of its pattern which symbolizes the union of a man and a woman. Even the African diaspora (a collection of communities from all over the world descended from Africans) considers zebras to be a symbol of race and identity politics because they are black and white. Some African people have a proverb that says &#8220;a person without culture is like a zebra without stripes&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zebra_pattern\"><\/span><strong>Zebra pattern<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-5343 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Corak-Zebra-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Corak-Zebra-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Corak-Zebra-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Corak-Zebra-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Corak-Zebra.jpeg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The striped pattern that is characteristic of zebras makes them unique and easy to recognize. In some zebras, the belly and legs are white without stripes and the muzzle and nose are black. The striped pattern from the forehead to the tail is vertical downwards, but for the legs, ears and tail the pattern is horizontal.

Several animal observer scientists have classified zebra species into three species, where each species has different pattern characteristics. This is influenced by the development of the striped pattern since the zebra was still in embryo form. For the plains zebra species ( <em>equus quagga<\/em> ), pattern development begins in the third week. Meanwhile, for the mountain zebra ( <em>equus zebra<\/em> ) and <em>Gr\u00e9vy&#8217;s<\/em> zebra species, the development of their patterns begins in the fourth and fifth weeks, respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Gr\u00e9vy&#8217;s<\/em> zebra ( <em>Equus Gr\u00e9vy<\/em> )<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-5345 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Equus-Grevy-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Equus-Grevy-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Equus-Grevy-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Equus-Grevy-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Equus-Grevy.jpeg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This species has stripes that are narrow and not wide so they tend to be close together.

The striped pattern which is the unique characteristic of zebras actually helps them in camouflage. They hide in tall grass to avoid predators such as lions or cheetahs who cannot distinguish colors, especially at night. Predators who need to observe them before hunting, will be confused about distinguishing individuals and determining the number of individuals in a group. As a result, these predators cannot determine the size of individual zebras.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As Identity<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-5349 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Identitas-Diri-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Identitas-Diri-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Identitas-Diri-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Identitas-Diri-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Identitas-Diri.jpeg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Because each species has a different pattern of stripes, this makes it easier for zebras to find their herd from afar.

This insect is an ectoparasite that feeds on blood, especially horses and large mammals such as cows. These fly bites can cause difficulty breathing, rashes, or body aches. These flies are attracted to zebras because they are related to horses, but zebra fur can deter these insects because zebra stripes reflect light, making it difficult for the flies to recognize their environment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As a regulator of body temperature<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"wp-image-5351 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pengatur-Suhu-Tubuh-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pengatur-Suhu-Tubuh-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pengatur-Suhu-Tubuh-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pengatur-Suhu-Tubuh-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/diringkas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pengatur-Suhu-Tubuh.jpeg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The striped pattern on the zebra can help the zebra regulate its body temperature.

The mother also forbids other mother zebras from approaching her child. This is because the child tries to recognize and remember the mother&#8217;s striped pattern, smell and voice. This behavior is called <em>imprinting<\/em> or &#8220;branding&#8221;. This behavior is carried out immediately after the baby zebra is born. The first subject the child sees when it is born will be branded ( <em>imprinted<\/em> ) as its &#8220;mother&#8221;. Not only does it occur in zebras, this behavior also occurs in newly hatched chicks. After hatching and seeing its mother for the first time, the chick will follow its mother anywhere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So how?
