In my on-going quest for earthly oddities, I’ve come across a fabulous resource which I now humbly regard as an older sibling of this young (but vigorous) website I’ve been diligently maintaining for the past few months. It’s Oddee , a website dubbed as a “blog on the oddities of our world”. Within this website there are some amazing lists, some of which I’ll feature in future posts.
Take this one, for example: It’s the top 10 most amazing extinct animals. There are quite some fascinating beasts within this article, including the Dodo, which I’ve already discussed in a previous slice of life. Another fine example of extinct animal oddity (featured in the second position from the list) is the Quagga, which looks like a croos between a horse and a zebra - even tough it’s actually a subspecies of the Zebra.
My amazing scientific intincts tell me that the Quagga was one of the last Zebra sub-species to be created, and the lack of striped in the rear portion of the animal can be easily explained: Mother nature had just ran out of ink. Impressive, uh? Anyway, the Quagga is not to be confused with its human-instilled counterparts the zebroids (cross-bred zebras) which include several variants such as zeedonks, zonkeys and zorses.
