Is this really zebrawood?

I saw this on a website for cheap Chinese guitars:

But when I google zebrawood, the results look much different:

The wood on the Chinese guitars is primarily dark, with red-orange streaks, while the google results show a lighter wood with dark brown streaks.

Are they just regional variations of the same wood, or completely different?
 
That's a negative. I actually bought a neck from them for a tigers eye parts build I had a while back (my profile pic). It looked really cool but looked a lot more like someone high glossed over someone's painting ad zebra wood.

That being said it could really be a type of zebra wood... just nobody who think they know better will ever believe you.
