The Return Of Kazakhstan's Endangered Kulans [1]

['Petr Trotsenko']

Date: 2022-08

6 A male kulan occasionally jumps the fence of the corral and wanders alone on the steppe.



Salemgareev says kulans use strength in numbers to guard against predators. "What we have seen is that when a wolf comes close to the corral, kulans bunch together and stare the predator down. The risk for the predator is too high when there's one wolf facing four kulans," the scientist says.
