Feral Horse, Waipi'o Valley
There have been feral horses on the big island of Hawaii since around 1900. They continue to populate the Waipi'o Valley, a wild and inaccessible spot offering little else economically other than taro farming. They used to be "small and hardy", but a single quarterhorse stallion joined the population, causing the herd to become larger and healthier.
As the horses aren't protected, farmers can legally shoot them if they disturb their crops.
