It's not a zebra

I think it's actually based on an okapi.

It's definitely a zebra. Its Japanese name is a corruption of the Japanese word for zebra.--Phantomjunkie 21:10, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Okapis don't have manes, do they? --Crimsonnavy 11:15, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Physiology for the admins to implement

Shimama is a white-on-black zebra Pokemon, with thick, pointed white stripes on its neck, chest, back and hind legs. Shimama has a large, rounded dark nose, and ovular eyes with blue irises and yellow schleras. Shimama possesses a spiked white mane, culminating at the front in a lightning-bolt-esque pointed extension; Shimama also sports stubby, triangular dark ears with blue ear insides. Its hoofed legs are tipped with white, and its tail is stubby, white-colored and pointed. Steph 15:09, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd suggest that instead of using the word "ear insides", describe it as "the skin inside of the ears is blue." Because that's really what you're seeing on the inside of the ears.--Phantomjunkie 21:11, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
