This is awesome, Mary! I’ve been involved with endangered livestock for quite a while and am aware of limited genetics, cloning, and such. This story is incredible! I love to hear your voice, and to learn how to pronounce the name of this horse.

And the book…as I read about these guys I kept thinking it would make a great novel. Fun!

What a coincidence that you write about Przewalski horses! Just a couple days ago I came across this article, https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/10/przewalskis-horses-only-wild-species-return-central-asian-steppes-kazakhstan?mc_cid=20e6bf5a98 , then began reading a book called "The Last Wild Horses" by Maja Lunde. It is about Prezewalski horses in novel form, set in the past, present and future. I am not huge on apocalyptic futuristic novels, but the book is about horses and so far is quite good. Imagine how Przewalski horses ended up in strange places in the US?! Thank you for this writing! Przewalski horses have always been intriguing to me. And now I can spell Przewalski!
