 The
quagga is an extinct subspecies of the Plains zebra, which was
once found in great numbers in South Africa's Cape Province and the
southern part of the Orange Free State. It was distinguished from other
zebras by having the usual vivid marks on the front part of the body
only. In the mid-section, the stripes faded and the dark, inter-stripe
spaces became wider, and the rear parts were a plain brown. The name
comes from a Khoikhoi word for zebra and is onomatopoeic, being
said to resemble the quagga's call. The only quagga to have ever been
photographed alive was a mare at the Zoological Society of London's Zoo
in Regent's Park in 1870.
