Baby foal born at Prague Zoo

A baby horse, or foal, said to be the great-great granddaughter of the last wild Przewalski or Asian Wild Horse subspecies to roam freely in the country, was born at Prague Zoo on Friday. The foal was born in the early hours without zoo staff present. Her mother, Hara, was born in a German zoo and gave birth to her first offspring a year ago. Prague Zoo has had Przewalski horses in its care since 1932; it has since returned two such horses to their ancestral grazing lands in the country of Mongolia. Staff at the zoo have suggested that if all goes well with its newest horse, she too could one day return to the wild in Mongolia.
