I'm talking about Zebras. Have you ever wondered what they're color really is? We always see them on TV and in zoos. But a dont think anyone has ever wondered it they're white with black stripes or black with white stripes. What's a zebra, anyway? They're the striped animals that look like fat horses. THeir mane is in mohawk style, and they're stripes are UNIQUE to every individual zebra! Imagine that! I mean there must be thousands of zebras and every single one of them has they're very own set of stripes combination! Isnt that amazing? Now you might think, well, i havent really seen any zebras up-close but based on what i see on TV they must be white with black stripes, coz it seems that they're underbellies are white. Well, i did a little research of my own and the answer is... Their black with white stripes. Embryological evidence show that. Dark background with white stripes. Hehehehehe. Well, let's just add this morsel of info to our knowledge bank. It's good to know some trivia every once in a while :)
