Two rare Perzoewalski's horses named Oach and Timor just settled into a fresh hilltop

spot at Edinburgh Zoo, soaking up epic views of Scotland's capital.

These boys are the last true wild horses on the planet, now listed as endangered after

bouncing back from extinction in the wild.

Back in the 1990s, breeders reintroduced them to Mongolia from captive groups, proving

zoos can play a real role in saving species.

Oach and Timor rode up to the zoo in 2021, and this new move gives them way more room to

roam.

The host-doc team leader is pumped about the setup, complete with a pond, gorse pushes,

and plenty of grass for grazing.

On clear days, visitors catch sights of Edinburgh Castle, the waterfront at Leith, and even

the Firth of Fort in the distance.

Once they get comfy, the duo will share that open hill space with the zoos camels, blending

their worlds in one big habitat.

Moves like this show how urban zoos keep endangered animals thriving, turning city hills into

wild havens.
