The Great Zebra Stripes Debate Is Officially Over
So they are black with white stripes finally done with that convo
Text content
A zebra has gone viral for its lack of stripes in Kruger National Park
Overview
This meme settles the long-running internet debate about whether zebras are black with white stripes or white with black stripes. It features two real photographs of a rare zebra from Kruger National Park that has extensive black fur with only partial, minimal white stripes, paired with a screenshot of a Twitter (X) comment from user @Alter2220066. The comment reads: "So they are black with white stripes finally done with that convo", using the visual evidence of the zebra's unusual coat as definitive proof to end the debate. The meme uses a collage layout of the two animal photos and the social media comment to deliver its punchline in a humorous, matter-of-fact tone.

This meme originates from the platform 9Gag, as specified in the provided additional information.

The meme's creator combined these elements to create a humorous resolution to a well-known trivial debate, and it was shared as an original post on 9Gag.
