CLEAN : Kenya zebra census uses stripes as natural barcode

The video discusses efforts to understand the Grevy zebra population, primarily in Kenya, using a method of individual stripe recognition to track and identify zebras over multiple days. This approach helps in estimating the population and understanding reproduction rates. Observations include the sighting of a young zebra, indicating successful reproduction. The study highlights the importance of conservation efforts for this endangered species.

• Tracking collars

• DNA analysis

• Individual stripe recognition

• Radio telemetry

How is the identity of zebras confirmed in the study?

• By observing their behavior

• Through visual inspection and high raw scores

• Using GPS tracking

• By analyzing their vocalizations

What does the discovery of a young zebra indicate?

• Migration of zebras to new areas
