Przewalski's wild horse

Japanese: プシバルスキーウマ(英語表記)Przewalski’s wild horse
Przewalski's wild horse
Also known as the Przewalski's horse or Mongolian wild horse. A mammal of the odd-toed ungulate order, family Equidae. Once widespread across the grasslands of Central Asia, this wild horse is thought to be the ancestor of some domestic horses. Since the 19th century, it has rapidly disappeared due to habitat destruction and hunting, and today only a few herds survive in the Tangshi-Shala-Nur Mountains of Mongolia. Its mane is characterized by stiff, 15-20 cm long bristles that stand upright. Its body color is reddish yellow or brown. Its body length is 220-280 cm, shoulder height 120-146 cm, tail length 92-111 cm, and weight 200-300 kg.
