Are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes

do zebras have white or black stripes

It was previously believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes, since some zebras have white underbellies. Embryological evidence, however, shows that the animal's background color is black and the white stripes and bellies are additions.

The stripes are typically vertical on the head, neck, forequarters, and main body, with horizontal stripes at the rear and on the legs of the animal.

I'm pretty sure they are white with black stripes because they have more white areas on them then black (such as their stomach, their tails, etc.)
