“Przewalski’s horses are called “takhi,” which means “spirit” in Mongolia. Przewalski’s horses have 66 chromosomes, compared to the 64 that domestic horses have. It is unusual in that they can produce fertile hybrids with the domestic horse (65 chromosomes) that are able to breed and produce offspring.”
