Hungarian Grey Cattle and Przewalski's Horses at Tierpark Sababurg

The Hungarian steppe cattle appear very majestic.

Here you can find the Hungarian steppe cattle and the Przewalski horses.

The Przewalski horses used to be housed in another pen near the farm. But now you can find them at the outer end of the park, still near the farm in the direction of the ibexes.

There are also Hungarian steppe cattle, which are also relatively new to the Sababurg Zoo.
