According to the passage, the black and white color stripes of zebra have many defensive advantages. However, the lecturer pointed out that zebra’s mixed stripes carry misconception among people in general.
To begin with, the lecture claims that the stripes of Zebras don’t bring about the optical illusion toward their predators like lion. Specifically whereas the reading suggests that black and white stripes evade the optical illusion of incoming predator, as predator like Lion hard to chase Zebra. However it is stated in the lecture that optical illusion doesn’t occur, they just chase and chase Zebra until it becomes tired and falls down. After that lion eats it.
On top of that, the lecturer also portrayed doubt on the suggestion of the reading passage that strips of Zebra confuse the predator as many Zebra altogether stay with their herd to confuse their predators. The main proof presented by the speaker was that predator like lion don’t like the single striped animal and chase the weakest herd member of them so that stripes of Zebra neither confuse nor their herd protect them from predators.
Lastly, the reading passage indicates that Zebra’s stripes provide vital camouflage protection to hide themselves in certain environment so that predator cannot find them. However, on the contrary, the speaker claimed that they don’t hide themselves. According to him, this is because Zebra doesn’t use its stripes efficiently and moves along with its herd in an open place to captivate the predators.
To sum up, contrasted with the suggestion of the reading passage, the lecture claimed that Zebra’s black and white stripes prove people with various misconceptions about it’s defensibility. |
