The Quagga, Equus quagga quagga, was a subspecies of plains zebra native to South Africa. The last specimen died in 1883, although scientists are today attempting to recreate the species through selective breeding of Burchell's zebras.

The quagga is an extinct subspecies of plains zebra that lived in South Africa until the 19th century. It was long thought to be a distinct species, but genetic studies have shown it to be the southernmost subspecies of plains zebra.
A native of southern Africa, the quagga used to occur in vast herds in the Karoo regions of Cape Province and the southern part of Orange Free State. It is now extinct.

1883: The quagga goes extinct when the last of these South African zebras dies at the Amsterdam Zoo. It was not immediately recognized, as the mare expired, that she was the last of her kind.
CNN reported that a team of scientists at Cape Town University has undertaken to bring back an animal killed off a hundred years ago by European settlers overhunting to extinction
