In Real Life
The Przewalski's Horse or Mongolian Wild Horse or Dzungarian Horse, is a rare and endangered horse native to the steppes of Central Asia. Once extinct in the wild, since the 1990s it has been reintroduced to its native habitat in Mongolia in the Khustain Nuruu National Park, Takhin Tal Nature Reserve, and Khomiin Tal, as well as several other locales in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Przewalski's Horse is stockily built in comparison to domestic horses, with shorter legs, though much smaller and shorter than domestic horses. Typical height is about 12–14 hands (48–56 inches, 122–142 cm), and length is about 2.1 m (6 ft 11 in). It weighs around 300 kilograms (660 lb). The coat is generally dun in color with pangaré features, varying from dark brown around the mane, to pale brown on the flanks, and yellowish-white on the belly, as well as around the muzzle. The legs of Przewalski's horse are often faintly striped, also typical of primitive markings. The mane stands erect and does not extend as far forward, while the tail is about 90 cm (35 in) long, with a longer dock and shorter hair than seen in domesticated horses. The hooves of Przewalski's horse are longer in the front and have significantly thicker sole horns than feral horses, an adaptation that improves hoof performance on terrain.
Trivia
- In 2020 the first cloned Przewalski's Horse was born and named Kurt.
- In 2023 a genetic twin of Kurt was born from cloning, making it the first time endangered animals have more than one clone.
