I disagree. Those aren't spots, it simply has vertical and horizontal black stripes!

    Your interpretation leads to the core question: Are Zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes?

    They are black with white stripes. You can look it up, or you can just look closely at a zebra. I wouldn't recommend the later outside a controlled situation with protected contact though. Zebras are assholes. There's a reason they haven't been domesticated.
