Are Zebras white with black stripes or black with whit strips?

Question:

Answer: In actuality, the answer is neither, the white part of their skin and the black part of their skin are on the same layer, just different pigments. However, the true answer to this question comes down to perspective. Many zoologists would say that a zebra is white because its stripes end towards the belly and the belly is mostly white. Others would say that a zebra is black because if you shaved all the fur off a zebra the skin is mostly black. So it really depends on how you want to look at it.
