Prezewalski's Wild Horse

The Przewalski’s wild horse is a subspecies of the domestic horse. It is small and stocky, with a large head and a long tail. In the late 19th century, the range of the Przewalski’s horse consisted of the steppes and deserts of Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and parts of China. Loss of habitat and hunting of the Przewalski's horse by humans caused such a drastic decline in the population that the Przewalski's horse disappeared from the wild. It now exists only in captivity in zoos and wildlife parks.
