Equus africanus atlanticus

The Atlas wild ass, also known as the Algerian wild ass, is a purported extinct subspecies of the African wild ass that was once found across North America and parts of the Sahara. It was last represented in a villa mural ca.300 AD in Bona, Algeria, and went extinct as a result of Roman sport hunting.
