The actual skin beneath the fur of a zebra varies between animals, some may have all pink skin like ours, while others will have black, brown or white patches. The fur is a separate entity all together from the skin. This is quite common in equine species. growing up we had a registered appaloosa that was completely white (they are supposed to have spots), and she did, but they were on her skin, not in her fur. a zebras stripes are like a finger print, no two zebra have the same pattern, and their skin is much the same way. Its all in the genetics.

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.
