Question

Is a zebra black with with stripes or vise versa?

Answer 1

Actually, the zebra has pink skin with white and black hair, so My answer is pink.

Answer 2

Black with white stripes.  If you think about it a minute you could rationalize this.  How many species of wild horses are white?  None.  Why would evolution choose a white horse?  It would not.  Wouldn't a white colored horse be an easy target for a predator?  Yes.

Answer 3

i see it as white with black stripes but idk the "right" answer

Answer 4

i think white with black, although some zebras i have seen look like black with white

Answer 5

i think there can be 2 types of zebras. who knows? maybe its genetics like while a baby zebra is forming it starts forming black then gets white stripes or vise versa. A white baby zebra develops black stripes.

yep..thats my theory

Answer 6

a zebra is white with black stripes,you can tell cause their belly is all white..

Answer 7

A zebra has white body with black strips . :-)

Answer 8

Hi

I'm pretty sure Zebra's are actually black with white stripes.  I've owned & bred horses for a long time (over 30 years) and when a horse has black skin around its muzzle (nose & mouth) it means it's skin is usually black all over.  Especially when its hooves are black too (like the zebras hooves).  A white horse (or a horse that has white socks or stockings) will have pinky/creamy looking hooves whereas a horse with black skin will have black hooves.  I know horses and zebras aren't exactly the same but they're related.

Hope that helps you with your question.
