Description

My school class was on a study tour to Nordens Ark ( a "zoo" for overarching goal to provide a future for endangered animals, in Sweden) some days ago an I took a lot of pictures of the animals.

Here is one of the oldest mares, and her foal behind her.

About Przewalskis Horses
The Przewalskis Horse is a wild horse from Mongolia, China and Siberia. It's said to be the only wild horse left in the world, and unlike other wild horses, it has never been domesticated by humans. The spread of domestic cattle displace the wild horse from the water holes, and an intense hunt was perform on the wild horse, which died out in the 1960s and could only been found in various zoos for a long time. Since 1992, a series of successful introductions has been done and today there are a small population of wild Przewalskis Horses in the wild.
