Wild ass

I was reading the due diligence report provided by our external consultant one day and......

... the Project area is located near the Wild Ass Sanctuary... mainly harbours the endangered wild ass sub-species Indian Wild Ass...

Clearly enough it is a kind of animal, but what is it? I find the name owesome.

Checking out Wikipedia: The Indian wild ass (Equus hemionus khur) also called khur, is a subspecies of the Onager native to Southern Asia. The coat is usually sandy, but varies from reddish grey, fawn, to pale chestnut. The animal possesses an erect, dark mane which runs from the back of the head and along the neck. The mane is then followed by a dark brown stripe running along the back, to the root of the tail...

I still can't quite figure out what is it...



Now I know... it actually looks like donkey / horse. Cute animal with an owesome name...... Didn't expect to pick up this by doing a wind power project, cool!
