The Asiatic Wild Ass (Equus hemionus), also known as the Onager, is a distinctive member of the Equidae family, characterized by its robust and muscular build. The species displays a sandy to reddish-brown coat, which lightens during the winter months to a paler, almost whitish hue. This coloration aids in camouflage within their natural habitats. They possess a dark dorsal stripe running from the nape to the tail, which serves as a key identifying feature. Adult Asiatic Wild Asses typically weigh between 200 to 290 kilograms and stand about 1.2 to 1.5 meters at the shoulder. Their legs are strong and slender, adapted for swift and sustained running, allowing them to reach speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour. For more, visit the link below:
