Abstract

Since, Przewalski’s horses (Equus przewalskii) are not survived in wild, so this is urgent to keep them in captive breeding in any zoos or safari parks. All reports on this horse focused on this same issue. In nature, the sole enemy of this horse is Himalayan wolf (Canis lupus chanco), so in captivity through proper management, the breeding schedule could enhance their number for reintroduction in nature.
