Persian onager — size comparison — facts and sources

The Persian onager (Equus hemionus onager) is an Asiatic wild ass subspecies from Iran’s semi-deserts, inhabiting steppes and dry plains. A sandy-red coat contrasts with a pale belly, and a dark stripe follows the back. A slender outline and long legs suit open-country travel.

Onagers eat grasses, herbs and shrubs. They form loose herds and seasonal groups. Scattered food and water require journeys drawing on endurance and fast running.
