A male Przewalski’s horse, born July 1 at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park’s Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, Va., grazes under the watchful eye of his mother, Emma. The foal, three days old when this photo was taken, will remain at the National Zoo until the Przewalski’s Horse Species Survival Plan places him at another institution for future breeding. Native to the steppes and deserts of southern Asia, the Przewalski’s horse was declared extinct in the wild in 1970. Thanks to international breeding efforts, approximately 50 of these horses have been reintroduced to the wild in China. See story, Page 8. (Photo by Jessie Cohen) |
