zebras
African striped horses
Zebras is the plural of zebra, the African equid with distinctive black-and-white stripes.
Each zebra's pattern is unique, like a fingerprint.
The word appears in various extended uses: zebra crossings are striped pedestrian walkways, and in American sports, zebras refers to referees in their black-and-white striped shirts.
