Zebra colour pattern in Livestock
Cat, dog, tiger, giraffe, bird, pigeon, fish,
snake, butterfly, caterpillar and many more……. , have typical zebra markings
due to combination of color genes.
Variation in striping patterns has also figured
prominently in sub specific classifications. Stripe variation may represent
adaptive variation rather than simply resulting from drift in isolated
populations.
The stripes are related to
temperature . Researchers show that zebras are more heavily striped in places
with hotter climates.
