While the reading passage presents three cases supporting zebra stripe, the speaker claims that these cases are eclipsed by corresponding counterarguments.
The reading passage indicates that the zebra stripes prevent from being captured by predators when they are running together because it creates visual chaos. However, the speaker says that this argument is somewhat shortsighted. The lecturer claims that a predator chase zebras until one of them gets tired and the one which fall behind would be alone. Thus, the stripes would not help. According to the speaker, then, the claim presented in the reading passage does not sound plausible.
The reading passage also purports that the stripes make predators confused in that it looks one giant black and white when they move fast. This might be true in some aspects. However, the speaker maintains that predators have learnt to overcome their stripes. Accordingly, the speaker also casts doubt on the second point of the reading passage.
Finally, the reading passage points out that the zebra's black and white patterns are able to be hidden by surrounding nature. However, the speaker suggests that zebras never hide because hiding is not their nature. Also, zebras are usually resting at open spaces where grass does not exist and look out predators. As the speaker points out, it is not proper to say that the last piece of evidence in the reading passage is substantiated.
