The tarpan (Equus ferus ferus), also known as Eurasian wild horse or simply, wild horse, was a subspecies of wild horse and the tarpan is now extinct. The last individual believed to be of this subspecies died in captivity in Russia in 1909, although some sources claim that it was not a genuine wild horse due to its resemblance to domesticated horses

Beginning in the 1930s, several attempts were made to develop horses that looked like tarpans through selective breeding, called breeding back by advocates.

The breeds that resulted included the Heck horse, the Hegardt or Stroebel's horse, and a derivation of the Konik breed, all of which have a primitive appearance, particularly in having the grullo coat color. Some of these horses are now commercially promoted as tarpans.

However, those who study the history of the ancient wild horse assert that the word tarpan only describes the true wild horse.

Lascaux Cave (French: Grotte de Lascaux) is a complex of caves near the village of Montignac, in the department of Dordogne in southwestern France.

Over 600 parietal wall paintings cover the interior walls and ceilings of the cave. The paintings represent primarily large animals, typical local contemporary fauna that correspond with the fossil record of the Upper Paleolithic in the area.

Lascaux Cave was inducted into the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list in 1979, as an element of the Prehistoric Sites and Decorated Caves of the Vézère Valley.

The original caves have been closed to the public since 1963, as their condition was deteriorating, but there are now a number of replicas.
