      <description>The Przewalski&apos;s horse, or takhi — the world&apos;s only truly wild horse — once vanished entirely from the wild. As of 2026 more than 1,000 again roam Mongolia, about half the global population, descended from just a handful of captive founders. It is one of conservation&apos;s most remarkable resurrections.</description>
