Przewalski’s horse
Considered to be the last remaining species of wild horse, this incredible equine is galloping in its natural habitat once again!
The Przewalski horses that are still alive today are direct descendants of horses that were captured at the beginning of the 20th century to be kept in zoos all around the world. They were thought to be extinct in their natural habitat, but then in 1992, 16 members were reintroduced to the wild in Mongolia. The area later became a National Reserve called Hustai National Park where these horses can still be spotted today.
From 2011 onward, the number of Przewalski horses has continued to increase. During the last count, which was done in 2018, about 2,000 of these Mongolian wild horses are alive.
