Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Carl Hagenbeck, 26 October 1903
Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/9/114
Scope and Contents
Hagenbeck writes that Baron von Falz-Fein from Russia and the Baron de Parana both have eight to ten zebra hybrids, and agrees that if their usefulness and strength were more widely known, they would only breed zebroids rather than asses and horses. He asks for the price of Ewart's two zebra hybrids and his Shetland pony and offers his Korea stallion to him as a present, as he wishes to be rid of it. He reports that the Mongolian mares which he got as foster-mothers for the first Przewalski's horses have turned out to be wonderful work animals.
