Takhi
Known as Takhi (meaning 'spirit' or 'spiritual') these graceful equids are the only wild horses left in the world.
Taronga has taken an active role in the international Takhi conservation efforts, contributing zoo-born horses for reintroduction to the wild in Mongolia. The Zoo program aims to maintain the genetic variability of herds, as this will best protect the Takhi from the health risks associated with in-breeding.
