I really like zebra's.    There's just something about the stripes!  So Are zebra's white horses with black stripes or are they black with white  stripes?  The answer is below:





Apparently, no two zebras stripes are alike, so they use black and white photos of the neck area to identify them.



They looked at zebra's in the womb and discovered that zebras start off black and then the white stripes slowly appear as they grow in the womb.

    You can't tell where one zebra ends and the next begins!

    I like the "screaming lady" bird story from yesterday's post. It made me smile!

    here I thought it was going to be a chicken vs. egg question. Very interesting - and great captures. Their stripes are fascinating.

    Wow neat on them starting out black & the stripes turning up later! Who'd'a thunk?

    So cool! I haven't been to the zoo in at least five years and I just realized I miss it! We used to go all the time when the kids were younger but now they've lost interest so we stopped. I think it's time to go back! Thank you for the reminder!
