JuZ fOr FuN!
here's some info on the qns i posted on the zoo trip! =)

Qn: zebras have white skin with black stripes or black skin with white stripes??

Ans: Zebras are black with white stripes and their bellies have a large white blotch for camouflage purposes.

Qn: how to differentiate leopard, cheetah and jaguar juz by looking at their fur?

Ans: The coarse, short fur of the Cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2-3 centimetres (¾ to 1¼ inches) across, affording it some camouflage while hunting. There are no spots on its white underside, but the tail has spots, which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end.

The base coat of the jaguar is generally a tawny yellow, but can range to reddish-brown and black. The cat is covered in rosettes for camouflage in its jungle habitat. The spots vary over individual coats and between individual Jaguars: rosettes may include one or several dots, and the shape of the dots varies. The spots on the head and neck are generally solid, as are those on the tail, where they may merge to form a band. The underbelly, throat and outer surface of the legs and lower flanks are white.

The leopard skin has large black-rimmed blotches, each containing a number of dots and it resembled the pattern of a jaguar or clouded leopard. However, leopard is of lighter build compared to jaguar.
