Good article. I am lucky to live just ten miles north of a herd of Przewalski's horses at The Wilds, a 10,000 acre refuge for exotic hoofed animals built on former strip-mined land turned to grasslands in eastern Ohio. https://www.thewilds.org/animals/przewalskis-wild-horse

I love these horses and their "comeback" story :) I think they will always be in the Red Book though, being the last wild horses genetically on Earth. This is an interesting story I found about them in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in Ukraine: https://phys.org/news/2021-04-wild-horses-flourish-chernobyl-years.html.

They often remind me of the wild horses that are wild on Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia.
