Przewalski’s horses today live freely on the Asian plains, but in Scandinavian wildlife Park, they act as a representative of all wild horses.

Przewalski’s horse received his name from Russian explorer Nikolai Przewalski when he described the species during a visit to China in the late 1800s. However, the Mongolian people knew these horses well, and saw them as the messengers of man to the gods. Therefore, the horses had been named takhi, meaning “spirit” or “spiritual”.
