Extinct quagga (Equus quagga quagga),artwork. This type of zebra was once found in South Africa. Unlike other zebra,the quagga had stripes just on the head,neck and forebody; the rest of its body was brown with a yellowish tinge. Vast herds of game: among these,the quagga,Burchell's zebra (related to the quagga) and the blue antelope,roamed the plains of South Africa prior to European settlement. The coming of settlers from Europe led,through hunting,to a number of African species becoming endangered with declining numbers. Both Burchell's zebra and the blue antelope were hunted to extinction. The quagga has been extinct since 1883 | |
