With detailed captions explaining the origins, habitat, and behavior of these noble creatures, Wild Horses provides a vivid pictorial introduction in brilliant photographs. Divided by continent, the book celebrates these last untamed examples of an animal species that has served humankind so well over many millennia. Learn about Przewalski's horse, a breed with a 20,000-year lineage that runs wild today on the grasslands of Hungary and marvel at the Namib Desert horse, thought to be the only feral horse living in Africa, and which has evolved to survive up to 72 hours without water in the dry desert conditions.
