FROM THE TRAIL OF PAINTED PONIES

Zoologists tell us that the black-and-white stripes on a zebra were designed by evolution to confuse lions in the wild, making them all but invisible because they are indistinguishable from grass and brush – until they move. Bringing a lighthearted sense of play to this concept, this mixed-media artist from Santa Fe, New Mexico has created a hybrid creature – a zebra/horse cross whose DNA creates a coat that retains the stripes of a zebra, while at the same time exhibiting the complete color spectrum visible to humans, the most fearsome predator on the planet.
