An ancestor of the domestic horse<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wiped out by hunting and the decline of forests. There were two breeds of Tarpan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forest Tarpan once lived in western and central Europe; it was still present in the Vosges Mountains of Alsace in 1593. It survived in Poland, where the last remaining individuals were distributed to peasants in 1806. The last wild Tarpan was killed in Poland in 1814.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The steppe Tarpan was found in Southeast Europe and in the regions around the Caspian Sea. The last one disappeared in 1879.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forest Tarpan was back-bred from the last Polish individuals. These crossbreeds resulted in the Konik breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heck Tarpan presented here is a cross between three breeds: the Icelandic pony, the Konik, and Przewalski\u2019s horse. This breed, created in German zoos, is found only in zoos.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
