It is thought that the alternating black and white stripes on zebras create interference patterns in the UV spectrum and confuse insects so the horses don’t get bit so much.

It’s a wonder that some butterflies can find one another.

California Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus)

Sure, they look like this in the ad on the comic book, but if you order them you’ll find they’re just little shrimp.

Cave Cricket (Ceuthophilus gracilipes)

Cave crickets don’t always hop along the cave floor.

In fact, if you ever go in a cave, it’s generally a good idea to look up as well as down.
