Zebra! Inspired by carousel zebras and heraldry motifs. Zebras’ stripes are unique to each individual. It’s speculated that they’re helpful for camouflage among tall grasses, confusing to predators when they’re grouped in a herd, and may help deter biting insects! They may also help with thermoregulation - a 2019 study discovered that zebras’ black stripes got up to 27 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than their white stripes when the zebras were grazing in the sun. The disparity reportedly causes small convection currents / eddies just above zebras’ skin which help sweat evaporate more quickly and create a cooling effect overall.
[ID: an illustration of a zebra facing to the right, rearing up. It is on a blue background with red flowers and leaves. End.]

Five Horses: Song Dynasty Equine ID Cards by Li Gonglin
A collection of equine ID cards created by Li Gonglin (李公麟), courtesy name Boshi, in the Northern Song dynasty. A scroll combining the functions of historical evidence and accounting record, depicts five exquisite horses: the gifts to the imperial court from the Western Regions (西域), that is the lands west of the Yumen Pass (玉門關), including most often Central Asia or sometimes its easternmost part.
Horses’ names are: Fengtoucong (鳳頭驄), Jinbeicong (錦膊驄), Haotouchi (好頭赤), Zhaoyebai (照夜白) and Manchuanhua (滿川花). Every horse is guarded by the groom (奚官).
On the left side of each picture there is an inscription by the famous calligrapher Huang Tingjian (黃庭堅), specifying the age, height, tribute time, etc. The scroll also contains his postscript.
There is speculation in historian circles that the fifth horse was originally missing. A few modern researchers argue that all horses are the product of Li Gonglin’s imagination.
With the fall of the Qing dynasty, the scroll was removed by Pu Yi from the palace and sold to a private collection in Japan with the help of his teacher Chen Baochen's nephew Liu Kechao. Now it is in the Tokyo National Museum.
