- KHOMIIN TAL RESERVE, Mongolia: After a long journey by plane and truck, four rare wild Przewalski horses are home in their native Central Asian grasslands.
Following a 6,000-km flight and another 280 km on trucks, the three mares and a stallion could finally roam this western Mongolian reserve. The females - Kordula, Cassovia and Lima - and the male named Matyas arrived from Prague as part of efforts to reintroduce the species.
They could join a herd of 24 reintroduced by a French organization. Przewalski horses became extinct in the wild in the late 1960s. This is the first Czech effort at reintroducing them, following several international programs.
