Quagga - Quagga (English spelling)

Japanese: クアッガ - くあっが（英語表記）quagga

An extinct zebra (illustration) with no stripes on its hindquarters. A mammal of the odd-toed ungulate family, Equidae. Its name comes from the carp-coin, which sounds like "kuwahaha." It is about 2 meters long, 60 cm long, and 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall. It closely resembles the plains zebra and is considered a subspecies, but there are records of the two species coexisting without mixing in some areas, so the prevailing theory is that they are separate species. The body is yellowish brown or chestnut brown, with white on the underside, limbs, neck, and tail, and the border between the two is clear. It has brown to dark brown horizontal stripes on the head, neck, and front of the body, and one dark brown vertical stripe on the back.

後半身に縞がない絶滅したシマウマ（イラスト）。奇蹄目ウマ科の哺乳類。この名はコイ･コインのもので，声がクァハハと聞こえるのに由来する。体長約2m，尾長約60cm，体高1.3～1.4mくらい。サバンナシマウマに酷似し，その亜種ともされるが，一部地域には両者が混ずることなく並存していたとの記録もあり，別種説が有力である。体は黄褐色ないし栗色で，体の下面，四肢，首，尾が白く，両部の境は鮮明。頭と首および胴の前部に褐色～黒褐色の横縞，背筋に黒褐色の1本の縦縞がある。
