BRONX, N.Y. — May 26, 2026 — The º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½’s Bronx Zoo welcomed an Endangered Przewalski's foal on April 21. The foal can now be seen among its herd at the zoo’s  exhibit.

The Bronx Zoo has played a pivotal role in the conservation of the Przewalski's horse, also known as the Mongolian wild horse — a species that was once considered Extinct in the Wild. Through breeding programs aimed at maintaining a genetically diverse population of the species and through reintroduction efforts, zoo-bred Przewalski’s horses were successfully returned to their native grasslands in China in 1989 and in Mongolia beginning in 1992. The º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ provides support to Protected Areas that are home to wild horses in Mongolia.

The Przewalski's horse is considered Endangered by the º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Red List of Threatened Species. It is estimated that fewer than 2,000 exist on Earth today.

Przewalski's horses are stockier than domestic horses, with shorter legs, characteristic dun coats, and dark, upright manes.

Guests can catch a glimpse of the foal from the Bronx Zoo’s , which winds through the heart of the Asian wilderness. Along the way, seasoned tour guides point out iconic species like red panda, tiger, and greater one-horned rhino, as well as many species rarely seen in zoos, such as markhor and gaur.
