what kind of zebra is he

Post by alexbrgr » Mon Aug 27, 2012 2:15 pm

I have a male zebra with no real breast mark and a pure white belly. I know he is split bb but is he anything else?

This looks to be a penguin split to BB...look at the orange line over the eye. When you add BB to penguin you can see faint breast bars and throat lines. I have a few that look like this...dad was a normal split to BB.

The tail does not have the frosted look, the combo of BB changes the look some. flank spots are enlarged.

Ok...nix the penguin....looks to be a Silver Isabel split to OB. On the tail of the parents, especially the dad is there an hourglass shape? He may also be split to BB...the flank spots are enlongated.

Cindy there is no hour glass shapes on the tail feathers of the parents or any of the babies. All three of the males from this batch did have orange over the eyes but this one was the only one to have a white belly and no real breast bar.

Charlie i think they are split to english they are all bigger than normal.
