Photo: @melissafarlow | A Mongolian wild horses called a Przewalksi horse bats at a ball hanging in the Denver Zoo Exhibit called the Last Wild Horse. The coat of the Przewalski’s horse ranges from brown to dun, with a pale underbelly and muzzle, a dark tail, a dorsal stripe, striped legs, and a dark, short mohawk–like mane.
It is one of three known subspecies of Equus ferus.
All Przewalski horses in the world are descended from nine of the 13 (two of which were hybrids, one being from a wild horse stallion and domestic mare and the other from a wild stallion and a tarpan mare) horses in captivity in 1945.
These thirteen horses were mostly descended from approximately 15 captured around 1900. A cooperative venture between the Zoological Society of London and Mongolian scientists has resulted in successful reintroduction of these horses from zoos into their natural habitat in Mongolia; and as of 2011 there is an estimated free-ranging population of over 300 in the wild.
The World Conservation Union's Red List of Threatened Species listed the Przewalski's horse as extinct in the wild until 2008. Causes of extinction were hunting, harsh climate, loss of habitat, and loss of water sources to farm animals. Currently, there are around 1,500 animals remaining in zoos and breeding facilities, carrying genes from the few founders. @thephotosociety @theimagereview @ナショナルジオグラフィック #horses #denver #zoo #endangered #fun #play #mongolia
