Synopsis
Having faced extinction, Takhi, also known as the Przewalski Horse, has never been domesticated and is our world’s last remaining wild horse. Takhi is the last of the wild horse lineage that so captivated our ancient ancestor’s imagination they were persistently and majestically painted upon the cave walls of Lascaux (above), Chauvet, Altamira, and Santimamiñe beginning some 42,000 years ago.
Inspired by seeing the Takhi at the Washington, D.C. National Zoo, Mongolia, and the successful reintroduction of this magnificent horse back to the Mongolian Steppe, the Takhi is one of humanity’s greatest against-all-odds conservation success stories. Tsolmon and I hope this story and these modern “cave paintings” continue the awe and inspiration of our ancient human ancestors, so we, too, can gratefully live in an amazing and wonderful world where wild horses run free…
