The Mongolian wild ass (Equus hemionus hemionus), also known as Mongolian khulan, is the nominate subspecies of the onager. It is found in southern Mongolia and northern China. It was previously found in eastern Kazakhstan and southern Siberia before being extirpated there through hunting.[4] As of 2015, the Mongolian wild ass is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN.[1] Current population estimates are approximately 42,000 individuals in Mongolia and around 5,000 individuals in Northern China.[5]
