Actually, it's reasonably obvious if you look at zebra photos.

On edit: I Google it, which I should have before I posted. According to the interwebs they really are black with white stripes, and their skin is black.

Thanks for helping me learn something new.

Have you ever tried to paint over black with white without it showing through in places? Gotta be smart and do black on top of white to be safe.

Beneath all that fur, zebras have black skin, too. A shaved zebra, without any stripes, could be almost unrecognizable as an all-black animal.

shares a lot of characteristics with Zebras, including the black manes and predominantly darker coats, and they have white stripes on their hind legs and belly. Horses like Lipperzanners have been bred specifically for the white coloring, but they come with a host of genetic problems because of it.
