How many stripes do zebras have?

you really can't tell because each zebra has a different amount of stripesIt depends on the species of zebra... "The common (or plains) zebra has 26 stripes per side, the mountain zebra has 43 stripes per side, and the Grevy's zebra has 80 stripes per side."That all depends on the individual zebra. Some zebras have more stripes than others, so the numbers wouldn't exactly be the same for every zebra on the African Plains.The number of stripes on each zebra varies since each has an individual pattern, so there is no answer for this question.
