Four more Przewalski’s horses settle into Kazakhstan as this year’s transport sets a record! 🥳
Togs and Shara, originally from the UK’s Marwell Zoo, Bela, born in Nuremberg, and Theresa from the partner institution Tierpark Berlin, were released into acclimatisation enclosures at the Alibi reintroduction centre yesterday at ten minutes past seven in the evening.
Like the group of four stallions flown from Prague-Kbely a few days ago, they too travelled aboard a Czech Air Force CASA military aircraft. A total of eight endangered Przewalski’s horses have thus been transported this year to the Altyn Dala reserve in central Kazakhstan. This marks the highest number moved since operations in Kazakhstan began in 2024. At the same time, Prague Zoo has set a new record for the number of individuals transported from Europe to Central Asia over the entire fifteen-year history of the Return of the Wild Horses project.
