Eww bugs! They are so annoying! We humans are lucky that we can apply repellents to avoid nasty bites. But what's an animal to do? They have no choice but to spend their days shooing them off with their tails, unless of course they are zebras, who apparently have an automatic repellent - Their striped skin!

        It would be a good if humans had the same kind of stripe skin but that would make us look weird but its better than mosquitoes flying on our heads

                I really liked this article because I never knew that flies don't like zebras stripes. It was interesting to read about the experiments they did. I would recommend this to a friend.

                  I really liked the article because I never knew that horseflies don't like the black and white stripes that zebras have. It was interesting how they did the experiment with paint and glue to prove that flies don't like narrow stripes. I would recommend this article to a friend.

                    Wow I never knew that the zebras stripes actually helps them. I always thought that the stripes only made them stand out more to predetors like the lion. But It actually helps them with predetors and nasty bugs.
