Doesn't look like blending with the local environment....looks pretty darn bold to me.
Zebras developed the stripes so they would blend in with the environment and be invisible to predators.

Prehistoric Democrats going on about white equine privilege.
Zebras are meant to blend in with each other, so that predators are confused when they see a herd. One of their collective names is a dazzle. It helps the young, which are the usual targets, to blend in with the adults. This is according to seasoned safari guides, but there might be more to it than that.
Another theory is that the stripes make it more difficult for biting flies to land and bite.

Nope. It’s because the striping pattern makes it almost impossible for flies to land on them. That discovery is selling zebra striped horse blankets and masks like crazy too.
