Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

One of the most iconic symbols of freedom and wilderness is the wild horse; it's fitting, then, that the Przewalski's (sheh-VAHL-skee) horse is known as "takhi," which means "spirit" in Mongolian.

Donkey! :-) I used to get to work with donkeys sometimes and their personalities are delightful to me.

Przewalski's Horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), family Equidae, Mongolia

This was once thought to be a totally different species from the domestic horse, but recent genetic/archeological research has uncovered that these animals are a long feral population of Botai Horses. (The horses of the Botai people of central Asia). They have now been placed in the species, Equus ferus, the species from which domestic horses were likely domesticated.

These findings are still in dispute.

African wild ass, a critically endangered species (ancestor to domestic donkeys) I've always found to be extremely interesting. I love the background, color and compositions, but the ass itself need some work, the facial anatomy especially. I still like this picture!
