Zebra Found Born Without Stripes

Veterinarians have yet to determine the gender of the baby zebra and give it a name but have determined that it is about 4 weeks old. The purebred zebra is also apparently fitting in with its black and white herd and can be seen hopping and prancing around.

Experts do not plan to take the zebra away from its mom or the herd but plan to study it as it grows up.

Some zebras are endangered because they are hunted for their meat and skins, according to a report.
