| The Munich Zoo produced a tarpan-like horse by selective breeding of domestic horses known to have tarpan ancestry. |
| It took several generations to bring back wild horses that most closely resemble the original tarpan. |
| As these species were extinct, he settled on konik horses, Polish descendants of the tarpan, and Heck cattle, which had been bred in Germany in an attempt to recreate the aurochs. |
| Another species, the tarpan, roams the Steppes of Tartary, and is with great difficulty tamed to the use of man. |
| Did humans transform aurochs and tarpan into cattle and horses and is the Oostvaarderplassen the crucible of their rebirth? |
| In the watery rite of tarpan, the souls of pilgrims' ancestors are eased into eternity. |
