What animals are related to horses and zebras?
The Quagga is a recently extinct subspecies of the Plains Zebra. Unlike other zebras, with their full-body black and white stripes, the quagga was striped only on the front part of its body, with its hindquarters a solid, darker brown. This creature once roamed Cape Province and parts of South Africa in great numbers. Because it was seen by the settlers as competition for the grazing of their livestock, the quagga was hunted to extinction by the 1870s. The last known specimen died in an Amsterdam zoo on 12 August 1883. However, since then, a breeding-back programme has commenced, through selective breeding of the southern Plains Zebras.
