Making decisions

“Although it may seem ironic, zebras’ black and white stripes actually serve as camouflage. Since they generally travel together in large numbers, their main predators, lions, often cannot select one zebra within a herd and are instead confused by a hypnotic play of colors before them. Thus, they hold off their pursuits until they can clearly distinguish a single zebra. Interestingly, this dilemma easily translates into the realm of decision making.”
