He is very interesting! It would be nice to see how the pattern develops as it ages.

I think you just made a lot of money. Breed that trait into a lineage and you've got it made.

Nice one :)

Enjoy it while it lasts, it will grow normal later on.
Some zebra's are even born white without stripes and suddenly get the stripes after 6-12 months.

Please take a look at its body shape, this one is not what you think. I have those abnormal look zebras too, their stripe break but reform again later, not like this one.

Hi this zeb might have the first stages of bloat or digestive problems this also makes the body look a different shape but I hope I am wrong.
Here is one of mine last stages of bloat,died soon after.

Well first sorry to hear your lost it...
second if you ever happened to have other looking like this...just avoid selecting such strain...nature has diversity enough without needing human creating more ones (often ugly)...I think we have enough by trying to keep, breed the natural strain
