Central Asia
The takhi, also known as Przewalski's, or Dzungarian, horse, was native to the steppes of Central Asia but in 1969 was listed as extinct in the wild; the small stocky wild horse has been re-introduced since the 1990s to reserves in Mongolia, as well as a few to places in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. The ancestral lineages of the takhi split from an ancestor common to what became the domesticated horse between 38,000 and 160,000 years ago.
