They have very thick coats (thicker than most horse's winter coats) that protect them from the bitter cold of winter in the Gobi Desert. They also have short tail hair at the dock and longer hair further down the tail, an adaptation for protection against the year round wind.
Their eyes have a wide field of vision due to their location, and their ears are set high on their head to detect predators. They are short and muscular, good for evading predators and huddling against the cold.
Additionally, some unique characteristics include:
* Their upright mane-almost looks roached * Their universal dun color * They are the last species of truly wild horses * "The entire world population consists of no more than 1,435 individual animals" * They are called takh in Mongolian * They are not like domestic horses, in that they cannot be tamed or safely handled without full tranquilization.
