This website hijacks my Chrome 'back' shortcuts. Not cool, Smithsonian.

There are tens of thousands of wild horses in the USA: http://theweek.com/articles/460722/american-west-being-overr...

Those are feral horses, descendants of escaped domesticated horses. The species in this article has never been domesticated.

If you are in QC and want to see a P-Horse, the Granby Zoo has a small herd. They are neat to see in person, your brain says "horse" and then "wait a minute, something is slightly off here".

I remember seeing these at the San Diego Wild Animal Park (now called the Zoo Safari) in the 80's. Thought they were pretty cool, and I'm glad they've prospered.
