| | The Quagga Project |
 | | Among those scientists who considered the Quagga as having been the southern-most subspecies of the Plains Zebra, were Otto Antonius, zoo director in Vienna and the two brothers, Heinz and Lutz Heck, both zoo directors, the former at Munich and the latter at Berlin, Germany. |
 | | The breeding experiments of the Heck brothers, largely with domestic horses and cattle, are well known. |
 | | Lutz Heck, in his 1955 book entitled "Grosswild im Etoshaland", suggested that careful breeding with Plains Zebra, that have been selected for their brownish basic colour, and/or reduced striping, could produce an animal identical to the extinct Quagga! |
