==Taxonomy== Przewalski's horse was formally described as a novel species in 1881 by [[:ru:Поляков, Иван Семёнович|Ivan Semyonovich Polyakov]]. The taxonomic position of Przewalski's horse remains controversial, and no consensus exists about whether it is a full species (as ''Equus przewalskii''); a subspecies of ''Equus ferus'' the [[wild horse]] (as ''Equus ferus przewalskii'' in [[trinomial nomenclature]], along with two other subspecies, the [[Horse|domestic horse]] ''E. f. caballus'', and the extinct [[tarpan]] ''E. f. ferus''); or even a subpopulation of the domestic horse.<ref name="lau 2009 199–208"/><ref name=kavar08/><ref name=ChinaancientDNA/> The [[American Society of Mammalogists]] considers Przewalski's horse and the tarpan both to be subspecies of ''Equus ferus'', and classifies the domestic horse as a separate species, ''Equus caballus''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Explore the Database|url=https://www.mammaldiversity.org/explore.html#species-id=1006123|access-date=2021-08-20|website=www.mammaldiversity.org|archive-date=28 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028140029/https://www.mammaldiversity.org/explore.html#species-id=1006123|url-status=live}}</ref>
