      Haha! Good question. As far as we know no zebras are dark animals with white strips where there is no pigment (or substance that give cells a particular color). What’s also interesting is that each zebra has a unique stripe pattern – like human fingerprints.

      I like The White Stripes, so unobjectively I will go with ‘black with the white stripes”. \o/

      I do believe they are white with black stripes.

      Can’t they just be stripey?? If I had to choose…I would say white with black. 🙂
