Przewalski’s Horse
Equus przewalski
Equus przewalski
Though closely related to the domestic horse, Przewalski’s horse has
never been domesticated and is truly a wild horse. Highly social, the
horses live in harems consisting of a single male and several females.
Young males often form bachelor groups until they are able to lead their
own harem.
