The Konik horse is a direct descendant of the now extinct European horse, the Tarpan. 250 Konik horses and an even larger herd of Highland cattle roam the National Park Lauwersmeer to keep the grass short and give plants, birds and insects the chance to settle. These animals are pretty wild and best watched from a respectful distance. Feeding and petting can interfere with their natural instincts.
Een konik is van oorsprong een in Polen en Wit-Rusland gehouden paardenras. Het konikpaard heeft geen verzorging nodig en kan het hele jaar vrij rondlopen. Om deze reden wordt het dier vaak ingezet voor begrazing in natuurgebieden in Nederland. De konik is nauw verwant aan de tarpan, een oorspronkelijk wild paard.
Gerben Poortinga introduceerde voor het eerst in 1981 de konik in het natuurbeheer. Poortinga eiste van de beheerders dat strikt natuurlijke kuddevorming, zonder "dierverzorgende" maatregelen, zou plaatsvinden en dat overbevolking uitsluitend aselect en op basis van ecologische ontwikkelingen van het gebied zouden plaatsvinden. Aan de kwaliteit van de konikspaarden op de Ennemaborg is dat nog steeds te zien. Naar aanleiding van het succes van de natuurontwikkeling op landgoed de Ennemaborg wordt het ras nu gebruikt in Europese natuurreservaten als de Oostvaardersplassen voor begrazingsdoeleinden. Hiermee functioneert de konik als een van de grote grazers van Europa. Ook in alle omringende landen is de beheersvisie nu op grote schaal overgenomen en toegepast. [Wikipedia]

Running dog is a pejorative term for an unprincipled person who helps or flatters those more powerful and often evil. It is a literal translation of the Chinese pejorative 走狗 (Chinese: zǒu gǒu), meaning a yes-man or lackey, and is derived from the tendency of dogs to follow after humans in hopes of receiving food scraps. Historian Yuan-tsung Chen notes that "In the West, a dog is a man's best friend; but in China, dogs are abject creatures. In Chinese, no idiomatic expression was more demeaning than the term 'running dogs.'"

Another first for me. I saw this guy in the snow, and took some shots from distance. But then he came running down towards me. I wasn't quick enough to get many shots, but i'm over the moon with this one. As he got closer, he realised what i was, and ran off.
