Monarto Zoo holds the largest number of Przewalski Horses in Australia today, and breeding is on the increase along with new births. Monarto Zoo played an important role in the return of this species to its natural habitat in Mongolia. Three Monarto-bred horses were transferred to Taronga's Western Plains Zoo to form part of a re-introduction herd. Two of these Monarto-bred horses, and seven mares in total, were eventually released into the 1.2 million hectare Takhyn Tal Reserve in the Mongolian Gobi in 1995.

Taken from bus whilst moving so difficult to get perfect focus. Thought story interesting enough to tell with the less than perfect photo.
