Quagga configuration
The quagga (/ ˈ k w ɑː x ɑː / or / ˈ k w æ ɡ ə /) (Equus quagga quagga) was a subspecies of plains zebra that lived in South Africa until becoming extinct late in the 19th century. It was long thought to be a distinct species, but early genetic studies have supported it being a subspecies of plains zebra.
