Also known as the Asiatic wild ass, it is a large mammal found in the deserts and grasslands of Iran, India, and other parts of Central Asia. They are a member of the horse family, Equidae, and are known for their distinctive stripes on their legs and back.
Onagers are herbivores and feed on grasses and other vegetation. They are an important part of the ecosystem, helping to maintain the balance of vegetation in their habitat. However, habitat loss and hunting have had a significant impact on their populations.
The Onager is currently classified as endangered, with only a few thousand individuals remaining in the wild. Conservation efforts, including habitat restoration, anti-poaching measures, and captive breeding programs, are important in ensuring the survival of this majestic animal.
