The quaggas, which were found in South Africa, are an extinct subspecies of the plains zebra. Their extinction is probably largely due to their limited distribution. Also, they may have also had to compete with livestock for food, and they were hunted to provide meat and skins by the early Dutch and the Afrikaners.
