Prague Zoo sends more Przewalski mares to Mongolia. Prague Zoo has sent four more Przewalski mares to Mongolia for reintroduction into the wild, within its breeding program aimed at saving the Mongolian wild horse. The zoo’s spokeswoman said the horses left Prague airport aboard a CASA military plane on Saturday and are expected to reach their destination on Sunday. Przewalski’s horse is a rare subspecies native specifically to Mongolia. It became extinct in the wild 40 years ago and Prague Zoo has played a major role in saving the horse, breeding it and gradually returning it to its natural environment. Between 2011 and 2014 the zoo has sent 19 horses to a nature reserve in the Mongolian steppe where they have already had 15 foals.
