Reinhold Rau,South African taxidermist,holding a family tree from his quagga selective breeding programme. After genetic analysis of DNA from the preserved hide of a quagga (Equus quagga) in the early 1980s showed that the extinct animal was little different from the present day plains zebra (Equus burchelli),Rau set up a breeding programme to re-breed quaggas from plain zebras. Rau believes that the quagga,which only had stripes on its head,neck and forebody,and pale brown hindquarters,was a subspecies of the plains zebra. Therefore the quagga genes are still preserved in the genome of the plains zebra and can be selectively breed for | |
