"Vaska", the first Przewalski's horse from the wild to have reached Europe and the only of such who could be used for riding; photo from Askania Nova. Caught in 1899, he travelled to Europe via Kobdo (Mongolia). In 1900 he reached Askania Nova, a year later he was given to the Russian tsar and placed in Tsarskoye Selo, and after a few years given back to baron F. E. Falz-Fein to Askania Nova.

I'm waiting to see one of those European mixed acts with Bactrian camels, Przewalski horses, and Yaks. The trainer could wear a "cave man" costume.
