You all forgot the most obvious one Quail.

I've thought of Xenopus toads aswell but they are in actual fact a compleatly aquatic frog

Then there's the Urutu it's a type of snake

[Andyvon]

Quagga - although its extinct now. That was an African species of zebra that was hunted to extinction in about 1880. It only had stripes on its head and front legs I think.

I certainly did not forget 'quail', Clair, and I already listed 'quagga', Andyvon, as you will both see if you read Line 2 of my earlier answer.

You are quite right Quizmonster - I've cleaned my specs now!
