Przewalski’s horse — size comparison — facts and sources

Przewalski’s horse, known in Mongolia as the takhi, is a wild horse with a stocky body, a large head and a short, upright mane without a forelock. It has a pale muzzle, a dark stripe along the back and long tail hair concentrated towards the lower end.

It disappeared from the wild in the twentieth century. Conservation breeding and reintroduction restored free-ranging herds in Mongolia and China. Przewalski’s horses have 66 chromosomes, compared with 64 in domestic horses, but the two can still produce fertile offspring.
