Wild Konik horses fighting on Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire.
Konik horses, Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire, UK - 26 Apr 2018
Remarkable photos show a rare Konik foal being protected as it is born in the English countryside - as wild Stallions fight just metres away. The pictures show a pregnant mare surrounded by other horses as she goes into labour, whilst a group of males spar nearby. Moments later the foal is born on the wetlands of Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire as the Stallions continue their dramatic fight, in scenes which looked more like something you would see on the plains of America. The tiny newborn horse was seen lying on the grass as it took its first breaths and the mum tenderly nuzzled it. After about 25 minutes the cute little pony gradually managed to stand on its feet and take its first few steps. It remained close to its mum as the male Koniks continued to rear up and fight nearby. Herds of wild horses vanished from Britain 4,000 years ago so these amazing scenes are now rarely seen.

Buzz the pig sitting on command whilst being fed by Serena Garner, animal care assistant at RSPCA Block Fen
Rescue pig that thinks it's a dog, March, Cambridgeshire, UK - 11 Oct 2017
A rescue pig who thinks he is a DOG is being hailed as a real-life "Babe." Ten-year-old Buzz has astounded staff at an RSPCA rescue centre by behaving like a dog and even sitting on command. The porky pot-bellied pig has been likened to "Babe" in the 1995 film of Dick King-Smith's novel about a pig, who think he is a dog. "We were so surprised when we realised he will sit on command, just like a dog. But he only does it if he is offered a banana sandwich," said Serena Garner, animal care assistant at RSPCA Block Fen in March, Cambs. "Buzz is a lovely gentle lad and to see him today, you wouldn't guess he'd had such a rough start. "He's such a happy lad now that he is getting regular meals and lots of attention. He loves to have a mooch about with us here in the field at Block Fen, and he adores a scratch behind the ear." Buzz was taken to the centre in July after suffering some neglect and is now looking for a new home. Anyone interested should contact the centre on 0300 123 0726.

Buzz the pig sitting on command whilst being fed by Serena Garner, animal care assistant at RSPCA Block Fen
Rescue pig that thinks it's a dog, March, Cambridgeshire, UK - 11 Oct 2017
A rescue pig who thinks he is a DOG is being hailed as a real-life "Babe." Ten-year-old Buzz has astounded staff at an RSPCA rescue centre by behaving like a dog and even sitting on command. The porky pot-bellied pig has been likened to "Babe" in the 1995 film of Dick King-Smith's novel about a pig, who think he is a dog. "We were so surprised when we realised he will sit on command, just like a dog. But he only does it if he is offered a banana sandwich," said Serena Garner, animal care assistant at RSPCA Block Fen in March, Cambs. "Buzz is a lovely gentle lad and to see him today, you wouldn't guess he'd had such a rough start. "He's such a happy lad now that he is getting regular meals and lots of attention. He loves to have a mooch about with us here in the field at Block Fen, and he adores a scratch behind the ear." Buzz was taken to the centre in July after suffering some neglect and is now looking for a new home. Anyone interested should contact the centre on 0300 123 0726.

Konik horses on Wicken Fen, near Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 12 Sep 2012

Kicking Koniks Welcome New Addition
A new two-week-old konik foal will have to grow up fast to survive living with this wild herd.
The newborn boy kept close to his mum as the stallions reared up on their hind legs and boxed.
The scene looked like something from the plains of America, but incredibly this rare sight of wild stallions sparring was snapped in the English countryside.
The horses were spotted fighting on the wetlands of Wicken Fen just 10 miles away from the city of Cambridge.
This behaviour has rarely been seen in Britain for 1000 years when the last herds of wild horses roamed these fields.
It is something the baby horse will be doing himself one day but for now he seemed happy to rest and watch.
"The new male foal was born last week which is probably what has caused this. It's all about dominance and maintaining their position in the herd," said Carol Laidlaw, conservation grazing ranger at Wicken Fen.
"It is a pretty amazing sight to see two Stallions fighting like this in Britain and it gets the heart racing.
"It's something which you tend to see during the summer months, which is the main breeding season."
The koniks, which share many characteristics of the now-extinct Tarpan, the original wild horse of Europe's forests, are one of the largest animals ever to be introduced in to the UK.
They have been imported to help manage the nature reserve in Cambridgeshire and roam freely across 150 hectares.
"A lot of the time the behaviour between the stallions is just ritualistic posing," added Carol.
"Sometimes the stallions are just playing and enjoying a bit of rough and tumble, but other times it could be a bachelor stallion challenging the dominant stallion.
"Usually one will back down but it can escalate and sometimes injuries do occur."
The 60-strong herd is ...

"The new male foal was born last week which is probably what has caused this. It's all about dominance and maintaining their position in the herd," said Carol Laidlaw, conservation grazing ranger at Wicken Fen.
"It is a pretty amazing sight to see two Stallions fighting like this in Britain and it gets the heart racing.
"It's something which you tend to see during the summer months, which is the main breeding season."
The koniks, which share many characteristics of the now-extinct Tarpan, the original wild horse of Europe's forests, are one of the largest animals ever to be introduced in to the UK.
They have been imported to help manage the nature reserve in Cambridgeshire and roam freely across 150 hectares.

Kicking Koniks Welcome New Addition
A new two-week-old konik foal will have to grow up fast to survive living with this wild herd.
The newborn boy kept close to his mum as the stallions reared up on their hind legs and boxed.
The scene looked like something from the plains of America, but incredibly this rare sight of wild stallions sparring was snapped in the English countryside.
The horses were spotted fighting on the wetlands of Wicken Fen just 10 miles away from the city of Cambridge.
This behaviour has rarely been seen in Britain for 1000 years when the last herds of wild horses roamed these fields.
It is something the baby horse will be doing himself one day but for now he seemed happy to rest and watch.
