Kazakhstan welcomes home 150 Przewalski’s horses in landmark reintroduction.
In a major step toward ecological restoration, Kazakhstan has begun reintroducing 150 Przewalski’s horses—known locally as Takhi—back to their ancestral homeland in the Altyn Dala State Nature Reserve.
These horses represent the last truly wild horse species on Earth, genetically distinct from feral populations such as Mustangs. They vanished from the Kazakh steppes more than 200 years ago, but now they are making a historic return.
The horses are being airlifted from Hungary’s Hortobágy National Park and other European breeding centers aboard military transport planes. The multi-year effort, running through 2025 and 2026, seeks to establish a thriving, self-sustaining population across Kazakhstan’s expansive grasslands.
The project is the result of strong international collaboration between the Kazakh government, Prague Zoo, and several European conservation partners. To support long-term monitoring and adaptation, every horse has been fitted with a GPS collar, enabling scientists to track their movements and behavior in real time.
This initiative follows the successful recovery of the saiga antelope in the same region and forms part of a larger vision to restore the steppe ecosystem. By bringing back these iconic grazers, Kazakhstan is not only rescuing a species once extinct in the wild but also breathing new life into the biodiversity of its ancient landscapes for generations to come.

@RealTomPowellJr Makes me genuinely wonder what she did to get the grandma to cave. She's obviously never told no in her life and I'm scared for anyone that has the unfortunate happening of coming across her entitled ass, especially once she's an adult.

@RealTomPowellJr This genuinely reminds me of a 10-12 year old girl with her grandma the other day and kid you not, the kid was literally verbally abusing the grandma all so that she could get some damn fidget toys. Grandma told her no at first, they left, but then grandma caved and came back. =/
@MissMaSunshine They could have simply ordered cake from the menu for their kid. The caption makes it clear the white parents encouraged the sense of entitlement.
They probably wouldn't need to ask had they walked over to say happy birthday instead of expecting cake.

LRT: rest in peace, Sam Neill. I only got to see the OG Jurassic Park for the first time a few years ago, but it's been one of my favorite movies since.
Thank you.

Ta Miu, whose name literally means “The She-Cat,” was the beloved pet of Crown Prince Thutmose, the eldest son of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. She is one of the earliest known pets in history whose name has been recorded.
Ta Miu (also spelled Ta-Miut), whose name literally means “The She-Cat,” was the beloved pet of Crown Prince Thutmose, the eldest son of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
She lived during Egypt’s 18th Dynasty around 1380 BC and was buried in an elaborately carved limestone sarcophagus decorated with hieroglyphs and scenes of her seated before an offering table. One inscription calls her “Osiris Ta Miu,” following the traditional ancient Egyptian funerary formula that signified she had entered the afterlife under the protection of Osiris.
Some modern writers have suggested that her name may have carried an affectionate meaning similar to “Miss Kitty,” though this is a modern interpretation rather than an accepted scholarly translation. While Ta Miu is often mistaken for the first named cat in history, that distinction generally belongs to Nedjem (“Sweet One”), a cat that lived roughly a century earlier.
Even so, Ta Miu’s burial remains one of the earliest and best-preserved examples of a named pet receiving royal funerary honors, reflecting the special status cats held in ancient Egyptian society.
