  A zebra, maybe a young one, they can be surprisingly shaggy looking (and brownish). Nothing else is striped like that.

  If you google "zebra baby" images you will see quite a few that are shaggy and brown rather than black. No expert on zebra coloration here but some animals (including humans) are born a lighter shade and their final color develops over time.

  All zebra foals are born with brown stripes and are shaggy in appearance. The brown stripe colour and the "shagginess" disappear when the zebra is between 9 and 18 months, usually the black stripes are evident by about 12 months. This may be an extra light version of the brown but it will, in time, turn.
  There are many examples of the adult stripes ranging in darkness from a pale grey to jet black. In some cases the stripes may even be spotted !
  As with human fingerprints, each zebra has a unique set of stripes.
