pangur-and-grim: this morning I read up on the Quagga Project, a South African initiative to breed back the Quagga phenotype from a population of Burchell’s zebra. it’s been going since the late 80′s, and there have been impressive results!they can’t really ‘bring back’ the Quagga - for example, historical texts document behavioural differences (such as being more docile), while this breeding project seems to focus solely on the colouration, but even if the animals just ‘look like’ Quaggas, I’m still keen to see where this goes! -- source link
