Answer 1

None. It's brown with black and white stripes.

Answer 2

Three reasons it is believed that zebras are black with white stripes are:

(1) white equids would not survive well in the African plains or forests;

(2) The quagga, an extinct zebra species, had the zebra striping pattern in the front of the animal, but had a dark rump;

(3) when the region between the pigmented bands becomes too wide, secondary stripes emerge, as if suppression was weakening. The fact that zebras have white bellies is not very strong evidence for a white background, since many animals of different colors have white or light colored bellies

Answer 3

The answer to this question comes down to perspective. Many zoologists would say that a zebra is white because its stripes end towards the belly and the belly is mostly white. Others would say that a zebra is black because if you shaved all the fur off a zebra the skin is mostly black. So it really depends on how you want to look at it.

Answer 4

Black with white stripes

Answer 5

White with black stripes

Answer 6

I'd honestly say, they are black with white stripes, I don't know why, it is a kind of camouflage, if it was all white it would stand out, and the same if it were all black. I think in nature most things are dark coloured and with zebra the white stripes formed over the years to provide camouflage to help hide themselves..........
any good.........

Answer 7

White with black stripes.

Answer 8

Contrary to popular belief, a zebra is black with white stripes. Zebras have black skin, what we see though are black and white hairs.

Answer 9

I don't think there's any correct answer to this. I just looked at a picture of one & it just looked like it's black & white striped.

Answer 10

neither. animals don't grow patches of hair on top of others, so they have white and black stripes. however, white is dominant as some zebras have very few black stripes (and some have none)
