	Quagga
		The Quagga is an extinct zebra, which was once found in great numbers in South Africa's Cape Province and the southern part of the Orange Free State.
		The last wild Quagga was probably shot in the late 1870s, and the last specimen in captivity died on August 12, 1883 at the Artis Magistra zoo in Amsterdam.
		After the very close relationship between the Quagga and surviving zebras was discovered, workers in South Africa began a project to recreate the Quagga by selective breeding from Plains Zebra stock, with the eventual aim of reintroducing them to the wild.

	Quagga
		Quaggas obtained their name from their warning cry, which sounded like “Kwa-ha-ha.” The plains zebra, also known as Burchell’s zebra, has the same distinctive cry, and it is believed that quaggas were a subspecies of the plains zebra.
		Quaggas were identified by their colouring—although they had dark stripes on a white head, the stripes slowly became a solid brown colour somewhere behind the shoulder.
		Quaggas were social animals often found in the company of other animals, such as the wildebeest and ostrich.

	Zebra
		The Plains Zebra (Equus quagga, formerly Equus burchelli) is the most common, and has or had about 5 subspecies distributed across much of southern and eastern Africa.
		The Mountain Zebra[?] (Equus zebra) of southwest Africa tends to have a sleek coat with a white belly and narrower stripes than the Plains Zebra.
		Grevy's Zebra[?] (Equus grevyi) is the largest type, similar in appearance to Grevy's Zebra but with an erect mane, and a long, narrow head making it appear rather mule-like.

	Quagga - LoveToKnow 1911
		QUAGGA, or Couagga, an animal of the genus Equus (see Horse), nearly allied to Burchell's zebra, formerly met with in vast herds on the great plains of South Africa between the Cape Colony and the Vaal river, but now completely extinct.
		Generally speaking, the colour of the head, neck, and upper-parts of the body was reddish-brown, irregularly banded and marked with dark brown stripes, stronger on the head and neck and gradually becoming fainter until lost behind the shoulder.
		The crest is very high, surmounted by a standing mane, banded The Quagga (Equus quagga).

	Recently Extinct Animals - Quagga - Equus quagga quagga
		The Quagga was a southern subspecies of the plain zebra with withers of 1.30 meter.
		Formerly they thought that the Quagga was a separate species (Equus quagga), but after examination of portions of mitochondrial DNA and protein in the 1980's, which revealed that the Quagga is a subspecies (Equus burchelli quagga) of the plain zebra (Equus burchelli).
		The Quagga went extinct because it was ruthless hunted down for meat and leather by South African farmers, also were they seen by the settlers as competitors, like other wild grass eating animals, for of their livestock, mainly sheep and goats.

	Bringing back the quagga - SouthAfrica.info
		The quagga lived in the Karoo and southern Free State, and differed in appearance from other zebras: it was striped on the front half of its body only and was a creamy, light brown on its upper parts and whitish on its belly and legs.
		Quagga meat was eaten by farm labourers and the skin used for grainbags and leather, with many raw animal hides sent out of the country.
		Rau became convinced that the quagga was a subspecies of the plains zebra.

	ADW: Equus quagga: Information
		The Quagga was a relative of the Burchell's Zebra, Equus burchelli, and differed mainly in the degree of striping.
		Quaggas were often the first of the grazers to enter tall grass vegetation or possibly wet pastures.
		The Quagga was hunted to extinction by hunters and European settlers, who used their skins for grain bags, and prized them for their colors and patterns.

	EQUIDS:
		The quagga was native to desert areas of the African continent until it was exterminated in the wild in the 1870s.
		The Quagga is a cousin of the horse, the Wild Ass, and the Zebra.
		Quaggas were more difficult to tame than Zebras, and Zebras are well known for their innate wildness of spirit and pride.

	The Quagga Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		The extinct quagga was morphologically divergent in coat colour from all extant equids (horses, zebras and asses).
		The phylogenetic position of the quagga haplotypes within the diversity of the plains zebra haplotypes together with the observation of only private haplotypes in the quagga indicate that it descended from a population of plains zebras that was isolated some time ago.
		Thus, the rapid evolution of coat colour in the quagga may be explained by either of two factors, or a combination of them: the disruption of gene flow owing to geographical isolation and/or an adaptive response to a drier habitat.

		The quagga disappeared from the wild by 1878, and the last zoo specimen died in 1883.
		The quagga was yellowish-brown with stripes that were confined to the head, neck and forebody.
		DNA from one of the pelts has been retrieved and analyzed, establishing that the quagga was, indeed, a variant of the plains zebra and not a separate species as previously believed.

		In fact the London Zoo’s one chance of breeding Quaggas in the 1860’s was foiled when the stallion beat itself to death against the wall of its enclosure.
		They found the great herds of Quaggas and antelope easy pickings indeed and, both in the Cape and north by the Orange River, were reported to be ‘as much interested in the hide business as in their general occupation of farming’.
		For their own use, sacks for storage and transportation were normally made from the sturdy, lightweight Quagga skins and were still to be seen in everyday use long after the herds themselves had disappeared and the shrill warning cries ‘kwa-ha-ha, kwa-ha-ha, quickly repeated’ were only a memory preserved in the animals’; name.

Plains Zebras are highly social and usually form small family groups consisting of a single stallion, one, two, or several mares, and their recent offspring.

	The Quagga Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		The Quagga project attempts to breed through selection a population of Plains Zebras, which in its external appearance, and possibly genetically as well, will be closer, if not identical to the former population known as "Quagga", which was exterminated during the second half of the 19th century.
		It is evident from the 23 preserved skins of the extinct Quagga, that this former population displayed great individual variation.
		How close re-bred Quaggas will eventually be to the original Quaggas genetically, can probably not be determined, as only portions of the mitochondrial DNA of the Quagga are known, and not it’s nuclear DNA.
