Do Zebras have striped skin or striped fur? Is it black w/ white stripes or white stripes w/ black stripes?

Hmmmmmm. Friend. I'm not sure, that's a good question. I think I'd use a black sheep. I am thinking it'd have more color! LOL! see ya later alligator!

Was the zebra  born and bred in captivity.  If so, you wouldn't be doing it any favors by setting it free, as it would be mostly domesticated.  It wouldn't be able to survive in the wild as most of its instincts would have supressed.  It also wouldn't have a herd, and zebras are very much herd animals.  A domesticated, lone zebra would be so much lion bait.  Sorry.

It depends on the species of zebra..."the common (or plains) zebra has 26 stripes per side, the mountain zebra has 43 stripes per side, and the Grevy's zebra has 80 stripes per side."\n\nOf course, since stripes on a zebra are like fingerprints on humans, your mileage may vary.

Zebras stay in circle starting from males than females and in the inner most the babies. This is done so to protect the young. It is also a good idea to confuse the predator beacause of all the confusing signs of black and white on its body. In order to confuse him they run around still staying in a circular mode.

The cougar goes by many names - cougar, puma,\npanther, painter, mountain lion.  It is not the same\nthing as what is normally called a black panther,\nwhich is just a black leopard.  Normally colored\nleopards and black leopards can occur in the same\nlitter of cubs.  \n\nWith most animals occasional individuals may be\neither albino, white, or melanic, black.  This is due\nto alleles of color control genes, usually recessive\nalleles.  To show the recessive character both\nparents must be carriers of the recessive allele, and\neven when they both are only one fourth of the\noffspring will show the recessive color (if both\nparents are normally colored).  The frequency of\nthese color variants differs greatly in different kinds\nof animals.  Squirrels, for example, seem to have a\nhigh frequency of alleles for the melanic color.\nPopulations of black squirrels occur in a number of\nplaces.  Usually the melanic color is rarer than the\nalbino, but the reverse seems to be true of squirrels.\n\nI have never seen or heard of either an albino or a\nmelanic cougar, but they probably exist in very \nsmall numbers.  I don't know where in the Midwest\nyou are located, but in the eastern part of it, where\nI am, cougars are very rare and the only reports of\nblack panthers I have heard of were errors.  The\nperson reporting them had mistaken something\nelse for a black panther.  It is very easy to make\nsuch a mistake, especially when  you come upon\nsomething suddenly and unexpectedly.  There is\nno reason to be afraid of admitting a mistake. In\nfact it's better to say you were wrong then insist\nyou were right about something extremely unlikely.\nI used to do a lot of bird watching and often had\npeople insist that they had seen a bird that fit a\ncertain description when I knew very well there was\nno such bird in existence.  Seeing, unfortunately, is\nnot always believing, as has been demonstrated by\npsychologists and other people quite often.

in the case of giraffes and okapi, they have very long, nearly prehensile tongues used to strip leaves and branches from trees.  the dark colour is due to higher levels of melanin in the tongues.  granules of melanin in the integument of the tongue help to strengthen and protect the tongue from mechanical injury to some degree, but their primary 'purpose' is to protect the tongue from sunburn.\n\nas you can imagine, a giraffe's tongue gets quite a bit of exposure to harsh African sunshine.  now imagine getting a sunburn on your tongue.  ouch.\n\nin the case of chows, the colour may have been bred into the dogs for some reason (i.e. aesthetics) by the breeders, or more likely, the genes for that colour were linked to another trait that the breeders desired.\n\ni'm not aware of bears having black tongues.  which species is that?

Zebras and Giraffes will herd together.  Since the giraffes have their heads way up above the zebra herd, they can see a lion or other predator coming and will make an alarm call.  The zebras listen to the giraffes and so they know when to start running for their lives.\n\nFor this to be a true symbiotic relationship, the giraffes must also get a benefit, which I cannot remember what it is. At least this info is a start...

I am not sure what you mean by "horizontal".  It almost implies along the length of the body, but you called the orange head to tail stripe "vertical. " Except for the orange stripe, it could be a banded sea snake.  If it has an flattened paddle like tail (made for swimming) it is.  Juvenile snakes in North America will sometimes have colors that fade as they grow.  \n\nIf it is a sea snake, it is rather venomous, though they have to be rudely provoked to bite in defense. Still, you should let it go.\n\nYou can email me; chunderwonder at sbcglobal dot net

Zebras are not the same species as a horse (Equus callabus).  They are, however, in the same family and even in the same genus.. Grevy's zebra (Equus grevyi), Plains zebra (Equus quagga) and so forth.  They can be broken.

Those are called joeys because they're indeed young marsupials too. They belong to family Petauridae and are basically gliding possums. The dark longitudinal dorsal stripe is characteristic of all members of the family.\nAnd they're absolutely cute, I agree!!\nOn behalf of chinchillas, I must say that they are completely gray, with no stripes whatsoever. If you like them, check these mountain viscacha (genus Lagidium) with its young. It's a close relative of chinchillas :-)\nhttp://www.stevemetzphotography.com/photo%20pages/Mammals/Viscacha.htm
