The quagga is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon 2 and was introduced in the Extinct Animals expansion pack. The last known individual died at Natura Artis Magistra zoo in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on August 12 1883. It was extensively hunted by Dutch settlers due to competition with domestic livestock and was hunted to extinction by 1878. It is possible that the quagga got its name due to its alarm call.Īlthough believed to have been quite common, comparatively little is known about the quagga's behaviour, although like other plains zebra subspecies, it probably lived in herds. The amount of stripes and how far down the body they go varied between individuals. Although very similar in size to other zebras, it was distinguished by the fact its stripes, which were brown and white, were limited to the front of the body - the rear was brown without stripes. The Quagga is a subspecies of the Plains Zebra native to South Africa.
