The Przewalski’s horse is the only truly wild horse species left
Most “wild” horses are feral domestics that escaped or were released. Przewalski’s horse (Equus ferus przewalskii) is the last never-domesticated horse lineage still with us.
It vanished from the wild and survived in captivity, then returned through reintroduction programs on Asian steppes.
Wildness here is genealogy, not just freerunning. One stock kept the unbroken line — and humans had to help it home.
