This news story is in the Sakha language. It is about the start of implanting microchips in Yakut horses in the area of the Kenkeme National Park near Yakutsk. The purpose is to track their location, as they prefer to roam and dig food for themselves. Chips will be also used for compiling the database of the Yakut horse. In the vid, you can see how local farmers care their animals and what conditions they live in. More at http://eYakutia.com

  • Where can we learn more about these amazing horses..?

  • @zrepeels Thanks! Interesting information. Ahmet

  • @topraka Yakut horses may be related to the extinct Ice Age Tundra Horse. They have thick winter coats with a sub-dermal layer of fat to keep them warm. They are able to halve their breathing rate to slow down their metabolism in harsh weather. Their hooves are specially large to help dig in deep snow to find food. These remarkable animals are designed to live outside.

  • Bolot,

    Do these horses stay outdoors like this all the time? I hope not!

    Also what does "kaenkaemae" mean?
