Chipmunk versus Human: A Stare Down

Doe, Raymond and Me
One day, over two years ago, a strange creature appeared in our back yard. A little white deer peeked her head around a tree, like a shy preschooler searching for a playmate. Our first meeting was tempered with a gentle approach and soft words, but as there was no trust she disappeared abruptly like a specter, leaving us wondering if what we saw was just an apparition. Over the next months, other neighbors reported sightings of the White Deer, describing their encounters with the en”deer”ing creature and soon our little town of Raymond, Wisconsin had a pet and mascot.

Why zebras have stripes, and point out that people are often different from those around them, too.
Zebras are the only large land mammals with stripes. Why do they have these white and black lines, and why don't other animals? There are several theories about why zebras have such bold markings, but scientists have yet to find a definitive answer. Although we don't know exactly why zebras evolved their distinctive stripes, we do know that many other species share this unique patterning for different reasons—and that humans also share some similarities with these striped animals.
