Atlas wild ass : ウィキペディア英語版 | Atlas wild ass
The Atlas wild ass (''Equus africanus atlanticus''), also known as Algerian wild ass, is a purported extinct subspecies of the African wild ass that was once found across North Africa and parts of the Sahara.〔Kingdon, Jonathan (1997) ''The Kingdon field guide to African mammals''. Helm, London〕 It was last represented in a villa mural ca.300 AD in Bona, Algeria, and went extinct as a result of Roman sport hunting.〔(A C V van Bemmel )〕 ==Taxonomy== Purported bones have been found in a number of rock shelters across Morocco and Algeria by paleontologists including Alfred Romer (1928, 1935) and Camille Arambourg (1931). While the existence of several rock art depictions and Roman mosaics leave no doubt about the former existence of African wild asses in North Africa, it has been claimed that the original bones that were used to describe the subspecies ''atlanticus'' actually belonged to a fossil zebra. Therefore, the name ''E. a. atlanticus'' might not be valid to refer to the Atlas wild ass.〔Kingdon, Jonathan (1997) ''The Kingdon field guide to African mammals''. Helm, London〕
