Quaggas back from 'extinction' at a re-breeding centre in South Africa
The Quagga was believed to have become extinct when the last specimen died at Amsterdam Zoo in 1883. However, DNA tests on its remains in recent years established it was not a separate species, but a version of the common Plains Zebra with regressive genes which resulted in animals with largely white bellies, legs and rump. A programme exist at Bartholomeus Klip in South Africa to re-breed the Quagga, and several generations on, this image shows healthy Quaggas once more exist.
