Because Ollie was born to a domestic horse, he has not yet had experience with other Przewalski's horses. Przewalski's horses normally live in groups, where a youngster secures their place in the herd from their mother. "It is an honor to have studied and worked with so many others on the conservation of this special animal and to see come alive the possibility of using advanced genetic and reproductive technologies to sustain resilient populations in human care and in their native habitat," Ryder said. Kurt Benirschke, who was instrumental in founding the conservation research program at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. Ryder began his career at the zoo in 1975 under the guidance of Dr. Oliver Ryder, director of Conservation Genetics at San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. The foal was given the name "Ollie" in honor of Dr. 17, 2023, and his surrogate mother, a domestic quarter horse, were recently moved from his birthplace at ViaGen Pets & Equine cloning facility in Texas so he can learn the language of being a wild horse from his own species, a statement from the zoo reads.
