Zebra model is an important tool for biological and ecological research. Its main purpose is to help scientists understand the relationship between adaptive evolution and ecological environment by simulating the skin pattern and physiological characteristics of zebra. Zebras are known for their distinctive black and white stripes, which not only have aesthetic value, but also play an important role in biological research.

First, the evolution of zebra patterns is thought to be closely related to ecological adaptation. Studies have shown that the stripes are effective in helping zebras regulate their body temperature in high temperatures. In addition, the arrangement of the stripes may have the effect of confusing predators, especially in the wild, when zebras are in groups, the fast-moving stripes can be visually disturbing, thus reducing the risk of predation. This phenomenon has also led to the study of similar characteristics in other animals, further promoting the search for biological adaptations.

Secondly, the role of zebra models in the ecosystem cannot be ignored. Zebras, as herbivores, have a direct impact on plant community structure and species diversity in grassland ecosystems. Their foraging behavior and interactions with other animals create complex ecological networks that help scientists understand the food chain and its dynamics. In addition, zebra excrement is also part of the soil nutrient cycle, providing an important source of nutrients for plant growth.

In addition, the social behavior of zebra horses is also worthy of further study. Zebras usually live in small groups, a social structure that allows them to support each other in the face of environmental challenges, enhancing their chances of survival. Individuals in a group communicate through different signals to coordinate their actions. This phenomenon provides abundant data for the study of social animal behavior.
