Susanne Åkesson, a biologist at Lund University in Sweden, refutes the theory that zebras have striped fur to stay cool in the hot sun. That hypothesis is wrong, she and her colleagues show in a study recently published in Scientific Reports.
There has been an ongoing discussion among researchers, dating back to Darwin, on why zebras have their signature black and white stripes.
