zebralike
Striped like savanna
Zebralike describes something resembling a zebra, particularly the distinctive pattern of alternating black and white stripes.
The term applies to patterns, markings, or coloration that evoke the African equine: The zebralike shadows cast by the blinds fell across the floor.
It occasionally describes behavior or movement reminiscent of zebras, though the visual pattern is the primary association.
