Keepers
at Scotland's Highlands Wildlife Park managed to catch a loving moment between
two of their animals, just in time for Valentine's Day.

Two Przewalski's
horses, mare Sara and stallion Hero, were photographed nuzzling each other
in their park enclosure.
Przewalski's
horses, native to the steppes of central Asia, are the only true wild horses
left on the planet. Once listed by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature as "extinct in the wild," the discovery of a single mature
individual in the wild caused the species to be re-listed as Critically
Endangered, according to the IUCN entry on the species.
