Why you can't judge a zebra by its stripes

You can't judge a zebra by its stripes.

That's the finding of research that is shaking up the family tree of the African wild horse.

The common (plains) zebra lives on the grasslands of eastern and southern Africa, from southern Ethiopia to northern Namibia.

DNA evidence challenges the idea that there are six subspecies that you can tell apart based on variations in the animal's distinctive black and white stripes.

That would make sense. No matter what color a Arabian horse is. It's still a Arabian horse and shares the same genes.
