Can learn from the animal kingdom how to confuse their opponents - if they run. Research published by scientists indicates that animals with stripes may confuse their predators by simply appearing when they proceed fast to be fuzzy. To find out this, scientists at Newcastle University played praying footage of shapes made to insects moving across a backdrop. The motion was created to be similar to the adventures of praying mantises. The bugs, some of which were stripes that are narrow or wide, could go at different speeds across the display . Scientists found that the mantises found it hard to spot the bugs together with narrow stripes moving at speeds. This is believed to be since the stripes in the animal become blurred into the predator and more difficult to see when they proceed at speed. It is the first time that it has been proven that many animals benefit from going to conceal themselves while it has been known for some time now that certain creatures camouflage better by blending into their environment. The lead author of the study, Professor Chocolate Rowe, explained that rate and stripes are a winning combination in the wild. "While we did this experiment by praying mantises chasing rectangular bugs on a computer screen, the same principle should apply in the wild," he explained. "So maybe stripes help to hide zebras running over the plains, or hoverflies flitting from flower to flower," she said.Prof Rowe proceeded to mention footballers could benefit from the findings. "So Newcastle United's stripes might be assisting throw away their opponents - provided that the players are running quickly enough," she explained. Sir Alex Ferguson once beautifully changed Manchester United kit at half-time if they have been losing a match in 1996. The director said that he felt players weren't able to make each other from the bright sun and that they had been mixing in with the crowd. Manchester United never wore this kit .
