      I think it’s been officially worked out and they are white with black stripes 🙂

      I did a tiny bit of research into this question – and went to the very good San Diego Zoo website (because it’s a brilliant zoo). As with so many questions in science, the answer seems to be ‘don’t really know’ – but this webpage might help a little bit (and has more zebra facts).
