A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Equus ferus
These wild horses have adapted to cold climates on these high altitudes. Spotted them on the way back from Nathu la pass, Gangtok, Sikkim, India
As I got close to them for these shots they stopped to take a look at me. Then as if they understood, got back to grazing, munching at the dry grass, as I stood wondering what they were eating on that barren land! The sight of these horses in a forlorn landscape will linger in my memory for times to come.
