The quagga, an extinct subspecies of the plains zebra, was once found in great numbers in parts of South Africa. It differed from other zebras in that its coat was sandy brown and its legs and tail whitish; only its head, neck, and shoulders were dark-striped. The quagga was hunted to extinction for its meat and hide, and to preserve feed for domestic stock. It was the first extinct creature to have its DNA studied. What did the study reveal?
