Asian elephants offer a modern illustration of this distinction, as they have been tamed for use as draft and war animals for thousands of years but are not domesticated animals. However, Botai horses form a clade (or group of organisms with a common ancestor) distinct from domestic horses, meaning it is possible that Botai horses were tamed but not domesticated.
They point to this relationship as evidence that Przewalski’s horses may have been domesticated. The new data highlights a close genetic relationship between Przewalski’s horses and Botai horses, the latter of which some scientists consider to be the first domesticated species. Przewalski’s horses have long been considered the last surviving wild horse species, but a recent study has raised speculations. It is a land of extremes, as summer temperatures can soar to 104° Fahrenheit (40° C) while winter temperatures can plunge to 50 below zero (-28° C). Mongolia is an Alaska-sized country sandwiched between China and the former Soviet Union. The steppe of Mongolia may represent the greatest expanse of largely unaltered grassland in the world. It is extremely dry, but the region also has springs, steppes, forests, and high mountains, and supports a great diversity of animals. The Gobi is different from the Sahara, as only a tiny part of it is sandy desert. Przewalski's horses were last found on the Mongolian steppes of the Gobi Desert. The "wild" horses that abound in Australia and North America's western plains and East Coast barrier islands are actually feral domestic horses that escaped from ranches and farms and returned to the wild. Przewalski's horses are the only wild horses left in the world. Today they can only be found in reintroduction sites in Mongolia, China, and Kazakhstan.
Competition with man and livestock, as well as changes in the environment, led to the horse moving east to Asia, and eventually becoming extinct in the wild.
