Description | Description:Quaggas were a subspecies of zebras, but are now extinct due to hunting by European settlers in the late 1800's. Like Okapis, they had partial zebra markings. They had the same striping at the head and neck and part way down their middles. The stripes faded around the middle of the animal, and disappeared all together at the rear. The last of its kind wasdied in 1883 at Amsterdam Zoo. | Description:The Egyptian Mongoose lives in hollow logs, burrows, and holes in the ground which are near a water source. They have grey fur with brown dots. They have a low, long body which can be mistaken for a reptile at a distance. |
