Depicted Animal

Equus przewalskii  POLIAKOV, 1881
1.35 M    

Common names: (English • Deutsch • Français • Español) - Przewalski’s horse or Dzungarian horse • Przewalski-Pferd • Cheval de Przewalski ou cheval de Prjevalski • Caballo de Przewalski, caballo salvaje mongol o takhi
Systematics: Equidae, Perissodactyla, Laurasia­theria, Placentalia, Mammalia
Habitat: terrestrial; steppe and semi-desert

The reddish Przewalski's horse (short and erect mane, eel back, short-haired upper tail part, leg stripes) is the only «wild» horse in the world today. It was last seen native in Mongolia in 1969 but, with some introgression of domestic horse blood, has been reintro­duced to Asia from captivity since the 1990s. The 2n = 66 chromosomes in Przewalski's horse and mtDNA research results may exclude it from the ancestry of domestic horse breeds (2n = 64).

Remark: As it is not really possible for us to seriously say which scientific naming should be applied to this taxon (Equus ferus przewalskii [preferred], Equus caballus przewalskii or Equus przewalskii), we use the nomen in the original combination of the author who erected it.
