Przewalski’s horses, a species that traces its origins to the Mongolian steppe, has seen its wild population plummet so low it is considered to be endangered. However, many have lived in captivity and thanks to an project run in conjunction with the Czech Army and the Prague Zoo, several horses have been transported back to the region their ancestors called home to run wild and free.
The mission, dubbed the Return of Wild Horses project, made its fourth transport this July, aiming to return four mares from France, Hungary, Germany and Czech Republic to the land of their ancestors in the Gobi Desert.
