      The answer to this is the same as the grey hair question. Zebra’s have black hair with the white parts being hairs that have no pigment. The amount of white is dependent upon the species.

      I think it depends on how much black and white there is. Every zebra is different, just like dogs can be lots of different colours. If a zebra has more white than black then I would say it is white with black stripes but if it has more black on it then surely it must be black with white stripes?

      Black on white I think, but I’m not sure!
