Why we chose the zebra as the Academy logo:
No animal has a more distinctive coat than the zebra. Each animal's stripe are as unique as fingerprints.
Zebra's are social animals that spend time in herds. They live in small family groups. These family units may combine with others to form awe-inspiring herds, but family members will remain close within the herd.
Zebra's must be constantly wary of lions and hyenas. If an animal is attacked, its family will come to its defense, circling the wounded zebra and attempting to drive off predators.
