Both is the only correct answer.
Zebras have black stripes. They don't have white stripes.

Also, if you're referring to the bottom of the body, the nose and the feet are black. Some zebras also have stripes on their belly. Oh, and this...Natural Pain Free Pet wrote:

I take this offensively. What about the zebras with Asian and German stripes?
That contradicts the statement at the top of the page, then. Anyway, why argue about whether the stripes are black or white when you could just say both answers are correct depending on how you view it?Echo wrote:

no link or anything, though
yay
it's a book written by some guy
that's not necessarily a fact; MORE OR LESS AN OPINIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Exactly, it's a printed book, which is (should be) more reliable than an internet source.

Did I say it was a fact? Obviously not, since I stand by zebras having black and white stripes. I'm merely saying "WIKIPEDIA ISN'T A DAMN GRAFFITI WALL WHERE YOU CAN WRITE WHATEVER YOU WANT". But hey, since no opinion is of value in here, let's just lock the damn topic, amirite?Ash wrote:
