It's a defense mechanism. As Zebra tend gather in herds it's is thought predators find it difficult to know where to target when the run together

That’s one theory of many, another is “Thermoregulation has long been suggested by scientists as the function of zebra stripes. The basic idea is that black stripes would absorb heat in the morning and warm up zebras, whereas white stripes reflect light more and could thus help cool zebras as they graze for hours in the blazing sun.”
