A spotted Zebra?

    It looks like he has spots on his back. Is that normal? Or is it an illusion? Maybe he's part Cheetah? 😃

    All zebs have unique stripe patterns but usually they are bold and clear. Maybe this is illusion or scarring or just the exception to the rule?

    Could it be a pattern mutation? In zoom it does look like scarring or erratic narrow striping at the lower edge of the spots and along a small section at the spine.
    Or perhaps he's just going through a rebellious stage?

    I found these images online, so maybe this Zebra is just a mutation on how his genes formed his sripes, I love the really Black one with White dots n dashes in the right hand photo.
