Their new study has shown that stripes don't deter horse flies from a distance, with both zebras and domestic horses experiencing the same rate of circling from the flies. However, video analyses revealed differences in approach speed, with horse flies failing to slow down on approach to zebras, which is essential for a successful landing.

Once, only once, we came across a very strange thing about the zebra stripes.

Fat was only found under the black stripes.

No fat under the white!!

Several of us there, with almost a hundred years of hunting experience, and seeing hundreds of zebra skinned, have seen nothing like it.
