A unique subspecies of wild horse used to roam the plains of Mongolia. Locals call them "takhi," meaning "spirit." Scientists call them Przewalski's horses, for the Russian explorer who wrote about them in the 1880s. By the 1960s, they were extinct in the wild. So, zoos began breeding them in captivity to repopulate the wild areas they once inhabited. The Prague Zoo alone has bred and released more than 30 takhi horses. It's also home to Len, the stallion grandson of the last takhi mare caught in the wild.

In his first transatlantic flight, Charles Lindbergh flew from Long Island, New York, to what city?
