TRANSCRIPT
– The celebrities of the nationwide park are not any newcomers: wild Garrano horses.
They’ve lived amongst these peaks for 20,000 years.
(horse hooves clopping) (horse neighs) The craggy panorama at 5,000 ft has made them stocky, robust climbers and trusted companions for Portuguese seafarers.
Small and surefooted, they have been suited to life on the ocean waves.
Garranos not often develop to greater than 5 ft tall.
(horse neighs) Springtime is foaling time, time for the younger to get to know each other, to chill out and, above all, to discover their boundaries.
To flee the summer season storms, Garranos search shelter in one in every of Portugal’s final historical mountain forests.
(thunder rumbles) Just a few hundred purebred Garranos stay.
(horses snorting) Defending and sustaining this historical species is the duty of each the nationwide park and personal breeders.
However they, too, should respect the forces of nature and its innate transience.
(horses whinnying) Wild horses typically fall sufferer to uncommon Geres wolves.
Though the predators are not often seen, there is not any mistaking the tracks they depart behind.
Dwelling with wolves means the Garranos have by no means misplaced their flight intuition.
The mists that may return at any time supply the horses a welcome cloak of invisibility.
