Kiang
Equidae
Equus kiang · Least concern
Water holes are rare on the Tibetan Plateau, so the kiang probably gets most of its water from the plants it eats, or from snow in winter. The largest of the wild asses, it stands about 140 cm at the withers, and its winter coat is twice as long as its 1.5 cm summer coat.

Plains zebra
Equidae
Equus quagga · Near threatened
The quagga, the plains zebra's most famous member, is gone. Long thought to be a separate species, it turned out to be a plains zebra subspecies that split from the others only 120,000 to 290,000 years ago. Today the plains zebra is the most common and widespread zebra, from eastern to southern Africa.

Onager
Equidae
Equus hemionus · Near threatened
"Half-donkey": that is what hemionus, the onager's scientific name, means in Greek. The German zoologist Peter Simon Pallas named this Asiatic wild ass in 1775. Reddish or yellowish brown with a broad dark stripe down its back, it is among the fastest mammals, reaching 64 to 70 km/h.
