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.
Low res zebra.
What did momma zebra do with the leopard in the bushes a few months ago?

Boy, I bet you feel like a sucker huh
Sure as taxes
The controversy has always been: Is a Zebra white with black stripes, or black with white stripes? Most people would say it's the first one, but since the mutation affected it by turning the white stripes into spots, this seems to indicate that the second one is correct.
Zebras are black and white, even thier skin is striped
Just change border-style: dashed to solid to fix
Since she is/was more visible to predators, I do wonder if she's still alive.
