Przewalski wild horses (primeval wild horses) live in the large enclosure. They ensure that the areas of the nature reserve are not overgrown with bushes and trees. The habitat of the sandy areas and the rough meadows is preserved.

Przewalski's horses, the last truly wild horses in the world, have lived in the Tennenlohe Forest near Erlangen since 2003. Since 2012, they have been supported by Peacock goats, a rare Swiss breed. Together, they ensure that the open sandy areas of the former military training ground do not become overgrown with shrubs – an important contribution to the preservation of rare habitats and biodiversity.
