The quagga was a recently extinct subspecies of the Plains Zebra. Indigenous to South Africa, it once roamed Cape Province and parts of South Africa in great numbers. 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. The stripes on its head faded to a yellow-ish brown body and made for a creature with a very unique set of markings. This subspecies of the Zebra was hunted to extinction for its meat, hide and to protect feed for the domesticated animals of the time. The last wild Quagga is believed to have been shot in the 1870s, and the last known captive was a mare. She died at the Artis Magistra Zoo in Amsterdam, on 12 August 1883. The only Quagga ever photographed alive was a mare that was at the London Zoo in 1870. For more details, please visit sites listed below. Although the original quagga is now extinct, a breeding-back programme has commenced, through selective breeding of the southern Plains Zebras.
