QUAGGA, or COUAGGA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 708 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
QUAGGA, or COUAGGA , an animal of the genus Equus (see HORSE), nearly allied to Burchell's zebra, formerly met with in vast herds on the
great
  plains of
South
  Africa between the Cape Colony and the Vaal river, but now completely
extinct
 . Generally speaking, the colour of the head, neck, and upper-parts of the
body
  was reddish-brown, irregularly banded and marked with dark brown stripes, stronger on the head and neck and gradually becoming fainter until lost behind the
shoulder
 . There is a broad dark median dorsal stripe. The under surface of the
body
 , the legs, and tail are nearly white, without stripes. The crest is very high, surmounted by a
standing
  mane, banded

alternately brown and white. It is, however, not improbable that there were two or more local races, for which
separate
  names have been proposed. Though never really domesticated, quaggas have occasionally been trained to
harness
 . The accompanying
illustration
  is reduced from a painting made from one of two which were driven in Hyde Park by Mr. Sheriff Parkins in the early part of the 19th century. The name is an imitation of the shrill barking neigh of the animal, " oug-ga, oug-ga," the last syllable very much prolonged; it is also commonly applied to the bonnte-quagga, or Burchell's zebra (see HORSE and ZEBRA).
