This little FBP shows one of only two (I think) pictures of a Quagga, both pictures are of the mare kept at London Zoo. The last known Quagga died in 1883, almost exactly 100 years later a re-breeding project was set up in South Africa. I first heard of the project over 12 years ago and have been watching ever since. Sadly the founder died a couple of years back but his project lives in. So type Quagga into your search engine and see what comes up.Alphabet Challenge Q is for Quagga.
Because of the stripes this little fbp also fits the Theme Thursday challenge for this week!

ReplyDeleteThe goal of the Quagga Project is to create a population of plains zebras that resemble the quagga in appearance.
