Hiyo ya zebra ni uwongo if a newborn has stripes sasa ukinyoa itamea ikiwa black.
Speaking of stripes, that brings us to the age-old question: What color is a zebra? If you research this answer, you'll quickly discover many conflicting perspectives. But Lisa Smith, Curator of Large Mammals at Zoo
Atlanta, reports that the coat is "often described as black with white stripes." This makes sense since the pattern is a result of
pigment activation (black) and
inhibition (white). That means black is the actual color of the fur, and the white patches are simply the areas that lack pigmentation [source:
Camazine]. To top it off, most zebras have dark skin beneath their fur [source:
Smith].
