3D scan of a mounted skin of a quagga (Equus quagga quagga) created by the [Natural History Museum of Vienna](https://www.nhm-wien.ac.at/en) under license [CC Attribution-NonCommercial](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/). The quagga is an extinct subspecies of the plains zebra. The last animal died in the Zoo in Amsterdam in 1883. Quaggas were endemic to southern and western Africa and became extinct in the wild in the second half of the 19th century. The original and more information can be found at [sketchfab / NHMWien](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/quagga-nhmw-zoo1-mamm-st710-bbd6d6e41cfe4d18b96a5f930cce9349), the following changes were made: * Geometry decimated from ~ 250k triangles to ~ 136k * downsized to 5% of the original size * body aligned and the soles cut flat * Base supplemented (in the "with base" version) * many corrections to the thickness (especially the ears and mane) * STL file repaired / fixed Note: If you print the zebra with 100% scaling (approx. 9 x 8 cm), not every detail of the mane is printable. With larger scaling, the mane is also printed with more details. Support material is required. A lot of my time is spent in post-processing (thickness corrections), I'm looking forward to some makes :)
