Quagga: Did they go extinct or are they still with us?


The last quagga died in the Amsterdam Zoo on 12 August 1883. 




The trick is the quagga were not a separate species. They are Burchell's zebras with a distinct color variation. While arguably a subspeciesthe genes still existed in zebra populations.
