Newborn Przewalski’s horse charms at the Smithsonian

On July 9th the breeding program for the endangered Przewalski‘s Horse at the Smithsonian Zoo celebrated a resounding success: a healthy foal. Last year two Przewalski foals were born at the Smithsonian.

No news as to whether the foal is a filly or a colt, but proud mom Brandy looks proud as punch.

The Przewalskis Horse was once considered extinct in the wild. Zoo breeding programs and the reintroduction of breeding stock in the wild has helped reinvigorate the breed.
