No "Zebras"? What does it mean?
It all starts with a lion, stalking a herd of zebras. The zebras notice and start to run away... The lion isolates one and brings her down.
Seeing the lion is now occupied, the zebras stop running and continue munching on grass nearby. They glance at their fallen friend thinking: "THAT WILL NEVER BE ME."
But who WILL be next? The zebras outnumber the lion. Standing together, they are more powerful and could eliminate the threat.
