    The plains zebra and mountain zebra were traditionally placed in the subgenus Hippotigris, in contrast to Grévy's zebra, which was considered the sole species of the subgenus Dolichohippus; [6] however, recent (2013) phylogenetic evidence finds that plains zebras are more closely related to Grévy's zebras than mountain zebras.

    A 2013 phylogenetic study found that the plains zebra is more closely related to Grévy's zebras than mountain zebras. [14] The extinct quagga was originally classified as a distinct species.

    Horses, plains zebras, and mountain zebras live in stable, closed family groups or harems consisting of one adult male, several females, and their offspring.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quagga

    Traditionally, the quagga and the other plains and mountain zebras were placed in the subgenus Hippotigris. [8] Much debate has occurred over the status of the quagga in relation to the plains zebra. The British zoologist Reginald Innes Pocock in 1902 was perhaps the first to suggest that the quagga was a subspecies of the plains zebra.
