What's Missing Here?

A baby zebra got its furry face and eating habits from its mother. But it didn't get her stripes! The foal was born last month at the Nairobi National Park, in Kenya, Africa. It is the only all-white zebra known to exist. Experts say the striped pattern of each zebra is unique and bonds zebras as a family group. But this playful foal "has been accepted by other zebras," says Charles Ooro of the Kenya Wildlife Service, and that is "nice to watch."
