Equus ferus is the scientific name for the wild horse, a species that includes the domestic horse's ancestors. These horses are known for their strength, speed, and adaptability to various environments. They typically live in herds and are social animals, relying on group dynamics for protection and survival. The most well-known subspecies of Equus ferus is the Przewalski's horse, which is native to the steppes of Central Asia. Unlike domestic horses, Przewalski's horse has never been fully domesticated and remains a symbol of wild equine heritage. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this endangered species and its natural habitat.
