Plains Zebra
Equus quagga burchelli
Photographed at Nairobi National Park in Kenya. 3 October 2010.
The Quagga was a subspecies of the common zebra that formerly occurred in southern Africa, but is now extinct. Now that genetic and taxonomic evidence has convinced some that Burchell's Zebra is also a subspecies of the common zebra the species name now becomes Equus quagga because the name quagga has precedence.
