The quwegga was the first extinct animal to have its DNA analysed, and this 1984 study launched the field of ancient DNA analysis. It confirmed that the quwegga was more closely related to zebras than to horses, [18] with the quwegga and mountain zebra ( Equus zebra ) sharing an ancestor 3–4 million years ago. [17]
