I don’t get it… what’s the illusion?

Their camo actually kind of hiding them for once...

This is why lions never hunt zebra from the air.
They really are just savannah donkeys, aren't they?
Wait do Zebras have predators from above where this camo makes sense to have?
Have you been had by the illusion, or is this a joke? The horsey shapes are shadows. The actual zebras are the stripey bits at their feet.
I think the point is that while this photograph kind of works (from above, at a distance), generally from ground level it doesn't. So if it only works from above, then is it really useful as a camouflage?
In fact, a 2016 study concludes that the camouflage hypothesis doesn't seem to carry weight: https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/zebra-stripes-not-camouflage-new-study-finds
And they said digital assets would never decay
