Description
Work in progress(my own art will be added later)
A new project I'm working on
I see a lot of people are not clear on what a quagga is or where they lived or that they are actually zebras and not horse/zebra hybrids
All my research is done with the Quagga Project site - www.quaggaproject.org and a little of wikipedia and of course from museums from around the world, the info here are not based of my personal views but on science and facts
Oh and if anyone know any info on the other two photographs please let me know even if they didn't survive till today it will still be great to know what happened to them

Hehe long explanations are a bad habit of mine hehe
but I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you find it useful
Yes the Quagga Project animals are a bit pale now
but I hope another 20 to 35 years we might have the true quagga colours back

XD yeah, maybe in that time... I'm used to work with genetics in mice and dogs, and sometimes I forgot that equines need a lot more years for the same number of generations XD

Thats cool! same here, I work with guppies (just as a side hobby),
breed like crazy the little b@ggers lol, but I can see changes almost instently when I add or remove fish from my tank
Love how nature works! I even got a little mutation in there, one of my guppies got multiple sword tail extentions, must have been a dormant gene, cause I didn't buy a lase or swordtail guppy (hard to find in South Africa)
Oh cant wait! Hope its successful!
Hopefully we both will see some true quaggas in our lifetimes

I have guppies too, but I try to make control of the population, because I don't have more than a 60l tank. and they must to share it with neon, corydoras and a growing population of ancystrus... I need to find new homes for them xD
But is funny, you can find genetics working almost instantly in those little fellas.

How do their tails look? like a zebra's or more like a horse's??
π: 0 β©: 1
A zebra tail but in pure white or creamy, might have a brownish tint at the base of its tail because of the brown from its back or its dorsal stripe depends on the individual, not a really impressive tail at all like a horse
(Lol I'm guilty of giving Kihara a horse tail 
At the moment I canβt find better photos of their behinds, but it seems like their genitalia and beneath their tails are black like zebras [link]
Hereβs a Zebra black tail stripe - [link] but I dont think it was that pronounced like a zebras, maybe a dark brown and thinner ?
Quagga project animal with white tail - [link] (most quagga project animals still have black in their tails so donβt use them as refs, yet anyway they still have a little way to go hehe)
Hope this helped 
Let me know if you have any other questions
