Przewalski's Horse
Przewalski’s horse (or Equus ferus przewalskii) is a species of wild horse living in the steppes of Mongolia, also known as the takhi, Mongolian wild horse and the Dzungarian horse.
Przewalski’s horse is smaller and has a stockier build than most other equid species. The coat is orange-tan with a paler underside, and is accentuated by an erect black mane, thick black tail and black legs.
It measures 2.1m to 2.6m in length and stands between 1.2m and 1.5m high at the shoulders. Mature individuals weigh between 250kg and 360kg. Males may be slightly larger than females, though there is no obvious sexual dimorphism in this species.
