Endangered wild horses have returned to their old habitat, in the Golden Steppe of Kazakhstan after almost 200 years. After decades of efforts, the plain has become living worthy for these wild horses. With the help of an airlift, seven of Przewalski’s Horses from Europe have come to the Central Asian country. It took place in June and the Prague Zoo took the initiative to bring them to their natural habitat once again. The researcher told the BBC that the horses are doing well in their home. And their ongoing mating process will allow them to grow their population effectively. The Zoo Authority has shared that it is their triumph to ensure their health and their growth.
Filip Mašek, a spokesman for Prague Zoo said, “This is an endangered species returning to their ancestral lands, a species which went extinct in the wild in the 1960s, last seen in Mongolia…so it’s just marvelous… a miracle.” the horses are being reintroduced to the ambiance of magnolia and China in the recent times and this why they are doing well by far, yet the future is only lying the coming times. Przewalski is the last species of wild horse. If they are going to be well accustomed to their previous habitat then it might save them from getting extinct.
This species ended up in the Prague Zoo over 100 years before and they managed to survive this has made them acquire more population and the Zoo authority is willing to see the same outcome this time as well. In most places, horses have been domesticated due to their useful services to society which has been extremely hard for the wild horses to thrive in their previous habitation.
Zoo’s director Miroslav Bobek said in a statement, “This is an event of historical import,” he also added, “The seven horses that we transported here by two Czech Army planes represent the first individuals of this species in central Kazakhstan in hundreds of years.” Przewalski’s horse falls along with the American Mustang and Australian brumby, these species have retrained from being domesticated and have been facing a hard time finding their way to survive with scarcity of food and places to roam freely.
On Thursday, Mr. Bobek told in a press meeting about this shift and how they are planning to save this species from becoming extinct in the future. He said, “[The mare named] Tessa was the first to run out of the transport box into the pen, then Wespe, followed by Umbra, and Sary brought the foursome to a close.” This is a wise development that scientists have suggested to grow their numbers. he also added, “We are still responsible for the fact this wild horse disappeared and now we can sort of reverse that, and give it back to nature.” He also added that the goal of their modern zoo is “to sort of be these Noah’s Arks which have all these endangered species.” He concludes, “If it’s possible”
