user posted imageAn all-white zebra has been discovered in Kenya, Africa, and wildlife experts don't know why it's got no stripes. Paul Gaithu, from Nairobi National Park said: "We don't have any records of ever having seen one like this before." The little zebra, who's only a calf, will be left with its parents to grow up, while vets try to figure out why it's such an unusual shade. Mr Gaithu said: "We are monitoring it every day. We hope that it will grow to an adult zebra that we can see." The stripeless zebra seems to be fitting in well with his black and white friends. Lots of zebras have recently arrived in the park with the annual migration, but it's thought that the unusual calf was born there. Some types of zebras are endangered, as they are hunted for their meat and skins.

The experts havent heard of Albinos? Surely there can be Albino Zebras aswell?

i'm sure if they knew it was an albino they'd say, however perhaps it isn't an albino thus the baffling no stripes:)

uh.. the critter has stripes. They're very faint though, but they're there...

Albinism... such a funny trait..
