EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of zebras residing at a French zoo, circa 1900. The photograph, part of the Boswell collection, showcases these magnificent animals in their paddock, surrounded by lush greenery. For many years, it was widely believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes, as some individuals exhibit white underbellies. However, recent evidence suggests that the contrary is true - the zebras' background color is actually black, and their white stripes and bellies are additional markings. This intriguing discovery adds to the allure of these enigmatic creatures, making this photograph not only a beautiful snapshot of the past but also a testament to the ever-evolving understanding of the natural world.
