[click onto image above to ENLARGE] When the MouseRug Team first saw this image, original art created for this September/2004 Special Edition MouseRug, the comment most often heard was "this graphic is so deep...the three-dimensional depth of this original MouseRug design creates an abstract pattern, colorations and value far beyond the zebra theme itself!". Nature provided the Zebra with "dual-purpose" striped markings... When Zebras run together to avoid predators, especially in dawn or dusk light, their stripes create confusing optical effects which help provide a defense. On the other hand, like fingerprints, no two animals' stripe patterns are alike, helping family members identify each other and thus create a familiar optical effect! ©2009 FiberLok, Inc.
