AKIPRESS.COM - A rare breed of horse that was once declared extinct in the wild is making a remarkable recovery in Kent (England). Visitors are now flocking to the Port Lympne Reserve thanks to the birth of a brand new Przewalski foal, reports Daily Mail.

The adorable foal was born to mother Ula, and is the second of the species to be born at the reserve in under a year.

The Przewalski breed was declared extinct in the wild in the 1970s, but thanks to a breeding program is finally getting back on its feet.

Bob Saville, head of the hoofstock section at Port Lympne, said: "He will help ensure the survival of the species, which was once completely wiped out. We have previously returned these horses to the wild in China and Mongolia, and we are looking into returned more of these wonderful animals in the near future."

Once they had been reintroduced to the wild, the horses were classed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as critically-endangered, then revised to endangered in 2011.

Saville added: "This little foal is doing really well and it's lovely to watch him finding his feet and becoming bolder on a daily basis."

A competition is being run on Port Lympne’s social media channels for people to suggest a name for the new foal.

The reserve has suggested a number of Mongolian names, including Arguut (a Mongolian town), Altay (a Mongolian mountain range), Ataya (short for Ataya Tengri, who was the protector of horses in Mongolian deity) and Aranjagaan (a famous Mongolian horse).
