The Quagga is a very close relative of the Zebra. It's scientific name is Equus Quagga Quagga. The Quagga had adaptations that allowed it to survive that are very similar to Zebra adaptations. One adaptation the Quagga has is it's stripes. The Quagga lived in Southern Africa where there was a lot of tall grass, and it's stripes helped it camouflage into the grass.
