Przewalski’s horse (Equus caballus przewalskii)

The Przewalski’s horse died out in the wild in the late 1960s, despite the fact that large populations had existed in the Asian steppe until the end of the 18th century. Thanks to an intensive breeding program there are today once again around 2000 animals, of which several hundred have been released into the wild and now live in areas of their original habitat in Mongolia and China.
