Can we all just take a breath and appreciate this beautiful ass?
Onager or Asiatic Wild Ass - Equus hemionus
There are five distinct subspecies of the onager, the most horse-like of the wild asses. They’re larger than African Wild Asses (Equus africanus), and once had a range from Syria through Tibet and Mongolia.
Currently, though they’re nowhere near as endangered as the African Wild Ass, their habitat is limited to Mongolia (the primary subspecies being the Mongolian Wild Ass), and small pockets in their former territories. The wild population of all subspecies combined is probably not higher than 3,500 individuals, but those that are out there are not in critical danger.
This is a good thing for more reasons than just human interests in conservation - onagers are a significant food source for many Asian predators. Grey wolves and asiatic lions and tigers take hundreds of individuals a year, and their continued reproduction and conservation is essential for the species that prey on them, too!
