The donkey, which became extinct in the late 19th century due to hunting and severe damage to the tangled Mediterranean forest, is considered an extinct species, but a number of individuals found in southwestern Iran gave hope for the animal's recovery, and in the 1970s several individuals were brought to Israel .
