On January 8, 2019, the Werribee Open Range Zoo out of Australia had exciting news by way of a rare Mongolian wild horse foal! Named Bataar (Mongolian for "hero"), the sandy-coated foal with an adorable spiky mane entered the world as the son of Mahan, a mare also located at the African themed zoo about 32 kilometers southwest of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

 

This was taken on 14.3.2019, when Bataar was about 3 months old.

 

It is also known as the Przewalski’s Horse. Naturally skittish and shy, Przewalski's Horses were on the brink of extinction last century.

 

Human intervention has helped to keep these extremely rare species of wild horse from extinction, as Bataar is a direct result of the successful breeding program at the Werribee Open Range Zoo.
