The last wild horse has 66 chromosomes
Przewalski's horses, the last truly wild horses, have 66 chromosomes. Domestic horses have 64.
Why it is true
They were once thought to be the ancestor of the domestic horse but are distant cousins. After dying out in the wild, they now live at reintroduction sites in Mongolia, China, and Kazakhstan.
