Description Ok, weird story how this one came up. In science class, we're doinga lab on extinct species- how they became extinct and how people can prevent extinction of other endangered species. Almost without thought, I wanted to study extinxt species of horses. That's when I foundt he Quagga. A quagga is a mix of a plains zeba and horse. They were hunted because settlers thought they would be competing for grazing grounds of their cattle. It's such a same cause they were such a beautiful breed. Their are organizations trying to breed selective plains zebras and horses to bring this breed back. Hopefully somday this breed will return.

So, I was inspired to draw this afer I started researching the Quagga. I started getting to like the breed so much that I just had to make a quagga character. So, after a day of research and 3 1/2 hrs of work, this is my quagga mare!

Meet Adaeze. She's my own charrie and you probaly wont see her on neo, though she will have a page on freewebs. She was once a proud member of a wild plains herd, until one by one, the wild herds were hunted or captured. Adae was one of the one's captured to work. Attempts on escape had failed, and she finally gave up. She's currently still held captive, hoping for an opurtunity to try to be free once again.

Rp is open. She is rped only over dev though. Send me a note if you want to rp!

Great work and really sad too!
Oneday South Africa will have great herds of Quagga again

Sorry but I want to help you with your discription if its OK
I think your a bit confused
A quagga is a type of zebra not a half-breed
and the Quagga Project only use selected Burchell zebras for the project
and their is no cross-breeding between a horse and zebra in the project
Those cross-breeds are know as zorses or Zebroids (also beautifull animals )
Check out therse sites

Keep up the great work!!

Very good! He's gorgeous... Quagga are beautiful creatures and should definitely be preserved when they are brought back... actually I think they have been brought back but they should be preserved anyway!

Actually, the quagga was a special subspecies descended from a species of plains zebra that was also thought to be extinct until they rediscovered it recently. The quagga arose from a small, isolated population of these plains zebra, somewhere in South Africa. When colonists came, they ruthlessly slaughtered them to extinction. Of course, as we know, most people at the time were idiots and didn't care how it would affect the enviornment in the future. -___-;

Right now, the Quagga Project has been going on for what...50 years? It's main goal is to "re-create" the quagga by trying to create the same situation that arose to the quaggas in the first place. But no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to re-breed an actual quagga. All of these "neo-quaggas" will be no more than mere look-alikes, like the re-created Tarpan horse.

Anyways, it's a pretty good picture. Have you ever read the story "The Last Quagga"? It's so sad! :sob:

dsfdsggjngjfngkdgnjn I LUFF IT! lol, and:

no, an okipi is a zebra, girrafe (sp?) and donkey. A quagga is a horse and zebra.

No, an Okapi is a zebra, giraffe and donkey. A Quagga is a horse and zebra.

Quaggas are extinct and you can still see Okapis at zoos! The End <333

Thanks, but not all credit goes to me. She's based off a real breed that's sadly extinct.

Yeah, I know, but even so, you're creative. Plus, to do so much research and stuff for a charrie! Expect giftart from me. I love this WAY too much to not draw it

Dangit!! Theres another piece of giftart I promised someone. If I keep carrying on, I'll never get anything else done x.x

Thanks Icy! You mean like on neo? I'm actaully spending more time on dev cause it seems more of you are on here. And I;m afraid that if I make her on neo, her design might be stolen. Kori and Sahjahne have already had thier deisgns stolen. But I probaly could. It wouldn;'t be a problem. But even if I don't, you could still rp with her =^^=

Thanks. Part of my project is also to study a related animal that's endangered, which would be the przewalski horse. Hopefully their population will rise soon du to efforts of foundations, protections, breeders, etc.
