Also – do they have white base with black stripes or black core with white hair? How did this help them survive in the wild?

Zebras are not horses with stripes, they are a very different animal, and they lack the temperament and social nature that made horses domesticatable. So, zebra calvary is not a thing.

As for the stripes, they help break up their outline when moving as a group, so singling out any one individual is much more difficult, making predation less likely.

And finally: last I checked their skin is more black, so they’re black based I would say.
