One stallion, five mares and a foal now roam the 180\u2009ha reserve at the local estate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>Quagga once roamed South Africa in large herds, particularly in the Karoo and southern Free State, until they were hunted out in the second half of the 19th century. The last known mare died in Amsterdam Zoo in 1883.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">To mitigate this, a dedicated group of conservationists in the Quagga Project have been selectively breeding from a founder population of southern Plains Zebras to retrieve the genes responsible for the animals\u2019 characteristic hide pattern. They describe their breeding animals as Rau quagga in memory of Reinhold Rau who founded the project.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>The seven animals from the Quagga Project were transported from Pampoenvlei in the Atlantis\/Darling area on Tuesday 10 May. They are now settling down in the reserve area, which includes natural grazing and plentiful water from the farm\u2019s Langkloof Dam and share the area with five eland that were introduced to the estate in 2020. The eland form part of the Gantouw Project, which researches ways in which grazing animals can naturally boost ecosystem diversity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe first discussed introducing more species to our reserve, in addition to the eland, in early 2021,\u201d said Eben Olderwagen, Environmental Manager at Vergelegen.\u201cWe were put in contact with March Turnbull, Director of the Quagga Project, and there was immediate interest from both parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<div class=\"p\">DNA analysis has revealed that the quagga is not a separate zebra species of its own, but one of several sub-species or local forms of the southern Plains Zebra (Equus quagga). This makes a big difference as selective breeding from a founder population of Plains Zebra has led to a population visually closer to the original quagga population than any other surviving Plains Zebra.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>Four of the Vergelegen mares are pregnant and should foal between October and December, added Olderwagen.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\u201cWe are absolutely delighted to play a part in this ambitious environmental project,\u201d said Vergelegen MD Wayne Coetzer. \u201cIn addition to the historical value of relocating quagga back to this region, the estate offers the space and ecological skills for good biodiversity management and monitoring, with a high likelihood of increasing biodiversity.\u201d<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">\n<p>Potential introductions of historically naturally occurring species at Vergelegen could also include black rhino, Cape buffalo, hippo and the geometric tortoise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">The arrival of the quagga offers training opportunities for conservation students in relation to large mammal husbandry, veld management and veld restoration. There is also potential for accredited learnerships or internships as it will be aligned with Vergelegen\u2019s Centre of Learning Excellence. Outdoor classroom studies could inspire youngsters to pursue careers in the green economy. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\">The quagga could in due course be viewed by visitors as part of the estate\u2019s ecological game drives, a guided excursion that takes guests through the Vergelegen arboretum and biodiversity nature reserve, with possible sightings of free-range Nguni cattle, bontebok and eland.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quagga once roamed South Africa in large herds, particularly in the Karoo and southern Free State, until they were hunted out in the second half of the 19th century.
