Equus capensis E. capensis ), the Giant Cape zebra , is an extinct species of zebra [1] Pleistocene of South Africa . E. capensis was first described from the Cape Town region of South Africa in 1909.[2] E. capensis can be estimated to have grown to about 150 cm (59 in ) at the withers and 400 kg (880 lb ) in body mass.[1]
A 2009 DNA study analyzed several museum specimens identified as Cape zebras and concluded that all specimens tested clustered within the plains zebra , Equus quagga , with E. q. quagga and E. q. burchelli , rather than belonging to a distinct species.[3]
