Zebras are already pretty eye-catching on their own with those bold black and white stripes, but when you see a bunch of them hanging out together on the African savanna, the visual effect gets even more intense. They prefer hanging out in groups rather than going solo across the savanna, which makes sense when you're surrounded by lions, leopards, and other things that think you look delicious. What do you call a group of zebras?

Correct Answer: A dazzle
(Source)A group of zebras is called a dazzle, and it captures exactly what happens when you're staring at a group of them and your eyes start playing tricks on you. Lions and other big cats have a really hard time picking out individual zebras from the crowd because the overlapping stripe patterns create this confusing zebra camouflage that scientists call "motion dazzle."
