Description:
The Przewalski's horse, Equus caballus przewalskii, is a rare species of wild horse native to the steppes of Central Asia. It is recognizable by its light brown coat, erect mane, and lack of forelock. Smaller than the domestic horse, it stands about 1.2 to 1.5 meters at the shoulder. This horse is a symbol of wildlife conservation, having been reintroduced to its natural habitat after being declared extinct in the wild in the 1960s. It lives in small family groups led by a dominant stallion. Adapted to extreme conditions, it primarily feeds on grasses and tough plants. Its survival depends on continued habitat protection and conservation efforts.

Photography tips:
To photograph the Przewalski's horse, it is advisable to use a telephoto lens of 400mm or more to capture detailed images without disturbing the animal. Opt for the golden hours of morning or evening for soft and flattering light. Be patient and discreet, maintaining a safety distance of at least 50 meters. Use a tripod to stabilize your camera and achieve sharp shots. Observing the group's behavior can help you anticipate movements and capture unique moments.
