The Zebra's Dark Side




The black zebra...

Sometimes, a zebra is born with strange stripe patterns and large areas of black...even spots.

These photos illustrate some of the variety possible in the stripes or, in the top and bottom photo, spots of the zebra. Kind of amazing...







This Grant's zebra, below, looks like his stripes have been partially erased.




And check this out...spots among the stripes; looks like chocolate running down the stripes and mixing them up!



God sure made an amazing world of zebras.

To see "white" zebras, check out my blog post "When Zebras Go Pale..."

I found your blog and really like it. I subscribed to the RSS feed. I love animal mutations and odd colours. The zebra article and all the other ones are really interesting! So thanks for writing this!
