Ancient Asiatic Wild Asses

Ancient Asiatic Wild Asses

In this podcast episode, Chris and Angie talk about the intriguing Asiatic Wild Asses, relating to the endangered equids species residing from Persia to Mongolia. They recollect stories about their late brother Shawn Mortensen’s love for the animals, his passion for photography, and his travels in Mongolia. The discussion covers the fascinating aspects of the species concerning their size, wild habitats, crucial role in the ecosystem, and impressive resilience. Additionally, they delve into the species' environmental adaptations like enhanced hearing due to their big ears, crucial to surviving hot desert climates. The hosts focus on the population decrease from the 1800s, existing pockets in Asia, and the existing conservation work in China and Mongolia, which rekindles hope for this threatened species.
