摘　　要：库特的外表和动作都与其他小马没什么不同。它用轻快有力的四肢迈步行走,测试肢体的力量。此外,它也会紧挨着母马吸吮营养丰富的奶水。不过,库特并非普通的马,它是一匹克隆马。库特小公马是一只普氏蒙古野马,为中亚原生种.而且曾一度宣告野外灭绝,因此目前仍属于极危物种。Kurt looks and acts like any other young horse.He strides on springy legs,testing their strength.And he nuzzles up to his mother for some nourishingmilk.But Kurt is no ordinary horse.Kurt is a clone.The colt is a Przewalski's horse,a species native to central Asia that once went extinct in the wild and is still critically endangered.
