Is a zebra white with black stipes, or black with white stripes?
After doing a bit of research, the common consensus among reputable sources is that zebras are black with white stripes. Now, before anyone who disagrees takes my head off, you should know that there is actually a bit of logic and science behind this reasoning. First, most zebras have darker skin underneath their coats. Second, fair skinned equids would not have fared well over the centuries in the unforgiving hot, arid African regions\\ ChaCha on!

While the specific processing of determining the striping pattern isn't known, it has something to do with selective pigmentation.
