  Koulan \Kou"lan\, n. [Native name.] (Zool.)
     A wild horse ({Equus onager} or {Asinus onager}) inhabiting
     the plains of Central Asia; -- called also {gour}, {khur},
     and {onager}. [Written also {kulan}.]
     [1913 Webster]
  


     Note: It is sometimes confounded with the dziggetai, to which
           it is closely related. It is gray in winter, but
           fulvous in summer. It has a well defined, dark, dorsal
           stripe, and a short, erect mane. In size, it is
           intermediate between the horse and ass.
