Are a zebra's stripes white on a black background or black on a white background?

A: A zebra is white with black strips. A: zebras are black with white stripes A: a zebra has black and white strips, because all zebras' noses are black and then there is a white strip so it's black and white. A: My answer is neither. It's just striped - there isn't any base color. It is just fur you know. However here is an answer I got from http://www.africanwildlifeguide.com/species-guide/mammals/large-mammals/zebra: "According to research on the internet, I see the answer is generally agreed to be 'Black with White Stripes' although as with most of these questions, nobody seems to be able to agree on the universal answer. It makes sense if you look at the argument. Firstly, if the zebra was originally one colour, white would have been a very unsuitable colour for the plains of Africa, especially under the hot African sun. Secondly, the quagga was dark in those places where there were no stripes and yet another supporting argument is that the light brown striations on the white stripes of the Southern African Zebra, could be the dominant colour coming through. The interesting part to me, however, is that there is no pigment variation in the skin, the pigment of the white and black stripes is found solely in the hair." actually some zebras are black and some r white its just the way they were born....they will get over it!!!
