An Update on Status and Conservation of the Przewalski’s Horse (Equus ferus przewalskii): Captive Breeding and Reintroduction Projects
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I read the article with great interest. The idea of compiling information on the reintroduction process is interesting and necessary. As this is a review, it would be good, however, to include the most recent scientific reports on the origin of horses ( f.ex. 10.1038/s41586-021-04018-9 ) The section on Social structure and ethology is too poorly described. Perhaps it should be abandoned and more attention should be paid to publications on genetic research, especially those from the last two years.

- Thank you very much for your great effort and kind attention. The schedule of the manuscript is very tight, and unfortunately i am infected with corona virus and kept isolated at home for weeks of quarantine, it means that i cant access to my office to use my official internet account to download any paper. Thank you very much for your recommendations. I will take your suggestion on the organization of the paper into consideration and do some extra research if the schedule permits, your recommendations on the organization of the manuscript have also give me insight and passion to do the research further in future.
- The grammatical errors were corrected one by one and listed in the cover letter.
Thank you very much again
Sincerely yours

Reviewer 2 Report
This is an excellent comprehensive review about the P Horse and its history. It is well cited and describes the plight of the P horse from the 60's to today.
There are numerous grammar errors throughout the paper that should be corrected by editing.
An additional paragraph on breeding successes (discussing hormone manipulation and artificial insemination, etc that has been done in the P horse) would be helpful to allow the reader a more updated history on the conservation of the species.

Thank you for putting together a comprehensive summary of the history of these wonderful animals. There were a number of mistakes in English usage that were very distracting. I have highlighted many of them in yellow on the attached pdf of your manuscript with comments in the comment box.
