At Parc Oméga: (Almost) Extinct Animals!

What ?

They are called Przewalski’s horses. A name that may be difficult to pronounce, but it describes a wild species native to Mongolia. It differs from other, more common horse breeds, in its small size. They are often in shades of brown with black tips and a mullet stripe (a black line on the back), which is a short, spiky mane of black that sheds each year.

By 1960, there were only a dozen left and the breed was on the verge of extinction. Fortunately, maintenance and breeding programs have been put in place to try to save them; Today there are about 800 people in the world, which is still a relatively low number. The park welcomed them as part of its eponymous conservation program species survival AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) map, an organization that manages the breeding of endangered species to ensure genomes are well preserved.
