An intensely researched population of free-ranging animals was also introduced to the Pentezug puszta (in the core zone Hortobágy National Park in Hungary), which is a preserve of 2400 ha (24 km2). The climate and vegetation makes this area ideal to monitor the horses under natural condition. The first group of 4 horses was settled from the Cologne Zoological Garden in 1997, and was followed by 25 other. With the many specimens bred in Pentezug since then, there was a population of more then 230 horses in 2012, which made the Hungarian the largest population of Przewalki's horse outside of Mongolia. In 2012 four of these horses were transported to Mongolia. Data on social structure, behavior and diseases gathered from these animals is also used to improve the Mongolian conservation effort.
