| description | This paper summarises published research on Przewalski’s horse,
Equus ferus przewalskii
. Biology
of the species is described, as well as its history in the wild and in captivity. Reintroduction efforts at
Takhiin Tal and Hustai National Park are discussed, with current population levels given, as well as
some survivorship data. Ecology of the Przewalski horse at the different reintroduction sites is described,
showing similarities and differences. Finally future conservation of Przewalski’s horse is discussed, with
particular reference to the change in status from Extinct in the Wild to Endangered, based on the IUCN
Categories and Criteria. |
