Animal whose pattern allows it to camouflage into grassland (5)

I believe the answer is:

zebra

(Other definitions for zebra that I've seen before include "Black and white striped animal" , "African mammal" , "Perhaps crossing" , "Striped animal or road crossing" , "Animal like striped pony" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
