The Namib Desert Horse is a rare horse found in the Namib Desert of Namibia Africa. It is most likely the only feral herd of horses residing in Africa. Today approximately 150 horses now live in 350 square kilometres of the Namib desert. The origin of these animals is unclear though several theories have been put forward. Genetic tests have been performed although none to date have completely verified their origin.
