smithsonianlibraries:Can a zebra change its stripes?While sketching zebras in Sudan, Abel Chapman (1851–1929) noted that his perception of stripe patterns changed. Depending on distance and the angle of light, a zebra’s stripes could even seem to disappear. This animated GIF is rendered from Chapman’s drawing for his book Savage Sudan (London, 1921). See today’s Smithsonian Snapshot for more, or visit the exhibition Color in a New Light, an exploration of the theme of color through the vast collections of theSmithsonian Libraries, including rare books and Trade Literature materials. -- source link
