Born To Be Wild

---

Just a quick update before leaving for Altai.
I went out to Hustai Nuruu National Park to visit the Przwalski horses and was successful. Also saw some rare red deer a-calling (it's rutting season) and sillhouetted against a rising sun on a mountain ridge. Very intrepid did I feel.

Still haven't seen any wolves... probably because it is a years good luck to see one but 7 years good luck if you shoot one. I have seen lots of marmots though. Funny wee things... they look like wombats with long tails.

The Przwalski horses were great. It was a buzz to see them in the wild... the one and only real wild horses. They look just like the cave paintings. Interesting fact: they have 66 chromasomes where domestic horses have 64. So they're truly a different species.

I have a few photos but not sure of the quality... I'll add better ones when I have time, probably in a few weeks.

Into the wilderness tomorrow.
