Przewalski's Horse

Also called the Mongolian Wild Horse, this is the last remaining truly wild horse in the world. Unlike feral horses such as the mustang in the United States, these horses have never been domesticated . This horse gets its name from  Russian General Nikolai Przhevalsky who searched for and observed the horse in 1881 after hearing rumors of its existence. "Przewalski" is the Polish spelling of his name.
