 | | Przewalski's Wild Horse, also known as Asiatic Wild Horse, Mongolian Wild Horse, and Taki, is one of the few equine beasts that has never been domesticated by man. Although they are sometimes hunted for meat, they remain untouched by humans, retaining all of their wild, most primitive behaviors. |
 | | Przewalski's Wild Horse is, most likely, a descendent of the same primitive breed that appear in paintings on cave walls. |
 | | Because it is traditional for the name of the discover to be included in the name of the horse, the horse was named "Przewalski's Horse." Przewalski officially described the animal, in appearance, habitat and characteristics, in 1881. |
