Zebras, horses, and asses are the only three members of the genus Equus, but it’s still not clear what the purpose of their stripes is. While many agree that the stripes are to help prevent them from getting bitten by flies, Ziggy the Zebra is here to remind you that everything isn't always black and white. Contains: one 2" - 3" string doll character with a double-sided fabric tag and lobster claw keyring. Fair Trade and Handmade in Thailand, each string doll has his or her own special power that is always positive and helpful. They are fun for the whole family and make a perfect gift.
