Is a zebra white with black stripes or black with white stripes?
It is believed that zebras are actually dark animals with white stripes. 
According to a quick look up for these reasons:
It is believed that zebras are black animals with white detail for three main reasons. The first is that white equids would not be able to survive well in the plains or forests of Africa. Secondly, the extinct species of plain zebra, known as the Quagga, had the white stripes of zebras today on the front of their bodies, but a dark coloured rump. The third reason is based on the Shadow stripes. When the pigmented white band becomes to wide, a secondary stripe starts to emerge. The idea that some zebras have white under bellies and legs is not thought to be evidence of an overall light colour, since many animals of different colours have white or lighter coloured bellies and legs.
This is because if it goes on top of another colour, in this case black, the black would show through. So the zebra would have to be white with black stripes.
While it works for printing, animals are a tad different. If they started out white before developing stripes, then they'd be eaten like most other white animals(or albinos) when they end up in the wild.
However, if you want to get all philosophical, it's all about perspective, baby. 
Do you feel comfortable eating oysters, knowing that you are eating their guts and everything?
I don't mind guts or anything...however, in the case of oysters I just find their entire taste revolting. I've tried oysters exactly 3 times in life...couldn't choke one down for the life of me. Nasty little buggers.
I know the answer to life, the universe and everything anyway, so what more is there? Oops, there's a question. Oh, well, lets see what sort of answer you come up with then.
What more is there? Hmm...the answer to death, the multiverse(or perhaps an inner universe in your mind), and nothing...perhaps. Although that may blow your mind trying to figure out the answer to nothing, which would somehow be something and yet nothing at the same time. For nothing is nothing, yet when you refer to nothing you're referring to something. Yeah, compared to that death and multiverses are super easy.
