Przewalski’s Horse (Equus ferus przewalskii)

The Przewalski's Horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), also called the takhi, Mongolian wild horse, or Dzungarian horse is a rare and endangered horse originally native to the steppes of Central Asia. Despite being much smaller and shorter than its domesticated relatives, Przewalski's horse has shorter legs and a stockier build than domestic horses. The color of the coat, which has pangaré traits and is typically dun in color, ranges from dark brown around the mane to pale brown on the flanks to yellowish-white on the belly and around the muzzle. Another characteristic of primitive markings is the frequent faint striping on Przewalski's horse's legs. In comparison to wild horses, their feet are longer in the front and have noticeably thicker sole horns, an adaptation that enhances hoof performance on terrain.


They are present throughout the steppes of Kazakhstan, China, and Mongolia. Their diet consists mostly of vegetation, which consists of grass and other shrubby flora, which thrives in the Mongolian steppes. These steppes may include the world's largest unmodified grassland region. These little, stocky ponies find refuge there.
