	Zebra information Quagga Zebra at Animal Corner
		Because of the great confusion between different zebra species, particularly among the general public, the quagga had become extinct before it was realised that it appeared to be a separate species.
		However, the Quagga zebra was the first extinct creature to have it's DNA tested and it was subsequently discovered that it was not a separate species but definitely a sub-species of the Plains zebra.
		After the very close relationship between the quagga and surviving zebras was discovered, the Quagga Project was started by Reinhold Rau in South Africa to recreate the quagga by selective breeding from plains zebra stock, with the eventual aim of reintroducing them to the wild.
