Equus ferus przewalskii, commonly known as the Przewalski's horse, is a rare and endangered subspecies of wild horse native to the steppes of Central Asia. It is characterized by its stocky build, short legs, and a distinctive mane that stands erect. Unlike domestic horses, Przewalski's horses have a unique genetic makeup, making them the only true wild horse species still in existence. These horses were once extinct in the wild but have been successfully reintroduced through conservation efforts. They primarily inhabit grasslands and are herbivorous, feeding on grasses and shrubs. Przewalski's horse plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, contributing to the biodiversity of its habitat.
