Scientific name: Equus ferus przewalskii
Origin: Asia
Size: 2.2-2.8m long
Diet: Herbivore
IUCN status: Endangered
Threats: Hybridisation with domestic horses; historically hunting and habitat loss
Zoos I have seen them: Highland Wildlife Park, Welsh Mountain Zoo, Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes.
Interesting fact: At one time extinct in the wild, this is the only truly wild horse left in the world, though zebras and asses also make up the genus Equus.
