Bone idol: museum's quagga skeleton restored with 3D-printed leg

London's Grant Museum of Zoology has completed work on its rare but neglected quagga skeleton - missing a leg and mistaken for a zebra for years

The tottering remains of one of the rarest zoological museum specimens in the world - a quagga whose ancestors were hunted to extinction in South Africa in the 19th century - is now standing firmly on four legs again through 3D printing, which recreated a flipped version of its right hind leg to replace the missing left leg.
