There are only about 2,000 przewalski's horses left in zoos, and there are only about 1,200 left i the wild. they are the last kind of truly wild horse, because there may be hundreds of breeds of wild horses out in the wild, but they were horses genetically bred by man then let go into the wild on accident or on purpose. all the other true wild horses made by nature died out thousands of years ago, now the only remaining breed is the przewalski's horse. they are being bred in captivity now because they are trying to get the breeds number back up, but very few of them are still wind today.
This species acually came from being extinct to being endangered. These wild horses were once hunted for their meat and has lost much of their natural habitat to grazing domestic animals. The last true wild horse was seen in 1968, and it may be extinct. Many of the remaining horses are found in zoos although they have lost some of their distinct features due to cross breeding and domestication. Some of these breeds were reintroduced into Mongolian national parks, and in 2005, the wild population was estimated at about 300 animals.
