Are zebra's white with black stripes or black with white stripes?

They are black with white stripes, and those are there for several reasons.

1: Helps the herd to blend into one mass making it harder for preds to pick out individuals.

2: The markings on the bum act like a fingerprint making it easy for the little ones to tell who is mom.

3: The black and white pattern acts like a cooling system. Goes back to the old black absorbs heat and white reflects thing.

4: They have yet to figure out why but for some reason the pattern keeps away flying pests (ie flies, etc).

Zebras are considered to be black animals with white stripes. The hair of the black stripes on zebras is longer than the white stripe′s hair. In the wild there have been sightings of black or mostly black animals with splotched white coats. This indicates that near-to-black was a primitive coat color, but now it is a recessive coloration.
