Have you ever heard of a quagga? I'm not surprised if you say you haven't. Quaggas were a special kind of zebra that lived in southern Africa, but they are extinct now. Do you know what extinct means??

Extinct is a word that means that there are no more in the whole world. Quaggas are extinct - so there are NO MORE quaggas in the entire world. The last quagga died more than 100 years ago. How do you think that happened?

The reason the quaggas went extinct was because it was hunted by humans. We also took over its land so it had no place to live. We humans have to be very careful about what we do to the world - otherwise a lot more animals will go extinct.
