There are patterns in animals. Birds, with striped
feathers, can be very beautiful. Sometimes differently coloured feathers are
arranged in lines. Look at this goldfinch. It has red, white and black stripes
on its head. And its wings are yellow and black, in broad bands. Or there are
sometimes stripes on individual feathers. This speckled hen has a white stripe
or bar on each black feather. Is there a hairy animal with a lot of stripes? Could
I suggest a zebra or a skunk? They are not Cornish animals! Or how about
badgers? In the past men used shaving brushes made of black and white badger
hair. (Poor badgers!)
