A critically endangered subspecies of wild horse, Przewalski's horse is found only on the steppes of Central Asia, specifically Mongolia and China. The Russian geographer and explorer Nikolai Przhevalsky, who led journeys through Central Asia in the 19th century, inspired the name of this horse.Przewalski's horse is unique among horse species in that it has never been domesticated.

They are still critically endangered, but thanks to conservation efforts, their populations have stabilized and their genetic diversity has been preserved.Przewalski's horses are a potent reminder of the importance of preserving biodiversity and preventing the extinction of threatened species.
