Pathfinders Animal Totem Oracle No 29:Quagga

Mi-Shell

The Quagga is an extinct animal. a Zebra with stripes only on the front part of its body.
The card shows a proud beautiful Horse-like creature grey-brown with whitish stripes on neck and chest before a backdrop of a reddish-golden sunset.
In the air above is a beautiful mournful sad eye of this creature.
To me this speaks of Human's foly!
They hunted and killed all the wild Animals and too late discovered, that the only ones remaining were in a zoo. The last died in1883 in a zoo....

A reminder speaking of the plight of the Animal world in general! the Quagga to me is its ambassador.

What I see when comparing the animal on the card to the pictures of the last surviving ones on the website is, that the artist did not draw the animal quite right. Somehow it looks more like a Horse than a Zebra to me!
