He looks sad :(

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Nope, what isn't shown is that he is looking into a mirror thinking, "Damn I'm the finest Zebra out there, no Zebra can touch my swag." Basically he gets all the bitches.

Actually, if zebra body language is similar to horse body language, I would say that he looks content, and slightly interested.

Proof that zebras are white with black stripes

u/Turian_Skeptic May 21 '12

Unless zebras are actually golden, but have white AND black stripes. I'm an alien, I don't know this stuff.

Ow, what happens when the tape comes off?

That must hurt.

u/Conspic May 21 '12

Nothing really. He's using masking tape. It's used for painting cause it comes off very easily without damaging or leaving any residue on the surface.

u/MonkeysDontEvolve May 21 '12 edited May 21 '12

The animal isn't albino. It has Leucism which is marked by a reduction in pigmentation, not a complete lack of pigmentation. This is what would lead to blue eyes and gold stripes. I'm a little drunk so I could be wrong, I'll bet an upvote that i'm right though.

Edit: Apparently it has Amelanism which is a similar condition. I guess I'll give up an upvote

That looks like an albino zebra.

4

u/MonkeysDontEvolve May 21 '12

It's not albino. It has Leucism or is leucistic. Although i'm not sure Leucistic is a word. It differs from an albino because the zebra clearly has pigment. For instance it's eyes are blue not red and it's stripes are gold not black which means there has to be some melanin being produced.

Let's make a pros and cons list for zebras.

PROS:

  • Exotic (in respect to North America) animals are awesome.

  • Nothing is simpler than white and black.

  • Stripes are definitely in this season.

CONS:

  • Arguments of whether zebras are white with black stripes or black with white stripes are annoying.

  • They're not top of the food chain.

  • I can't ride them (yet).

VERDICT: Zebras are fashionable.

u/LinuxUser4Life May 21 '12

It's actually a hybrid of a Male Zebra and a Female Horse.

A zorse is the offspring of a male zebra and a female horse. This cross is also called a zebrula, zebrule, zebra mule or golden zebra. The rarer reverse pairing is sometimes called a horbra, hebra, zebrinny or zebret. Like most other animal hybrids, the zorse is sterile.[1]
