PonyHenge is just what the name implies, a Stonehenge-like monument but made entirely of ponies. It is not really known who started putting the horses in this field, but it began in 2010. The field that the horses now call home is along Old Sudbury road in Lincoln, Massachusetts. The field might be private property, but the owners don’t mind sharing it with these wayward ponies. One rumor of how it began was from a child’s lemonade stand - the children left after their stand was done, but the horses stuck around. Another theory was that someone just left one horse in the field, and then another popped up. After while, it started growing and the horses began multiplying. Sometimes the herd moves to a new pattern, sometimes horses are exchanged, but it all remains anonymous. The owners of this private field like it that way, it adds to the mystery that is PonyHenge

Image one: there is a green field and to the right side there is a tree line. The sky is blue with clouds and there are various vintage rocking horses set up in a large circle to resemble Stonehenge.
Image two: the same place but from a different angle, focused on a brown rocking horses face. There is a trail of horses behind it snd they curve to the left.

The hog badger (Arctonyx collaris), also known as greater hog badger, is a terrestrial mustelid native to Central and Southeast Asia.
Its appearance generally resembles the European badger, but it is generally smaller, with larger claws on the front feet. Its tail has long white hairs, and its front feet have white claws.
It has medium-length brown hair, stocky body, white throat, two black stripes on an elongated white face and a pink, pig-like snout. The head-and-body length is 22–28 inches, the tail measures 4.7–6.7 inches and the body weight is 15–31 lbs. With weights regularly reported from 19 to 26 lbs it is one of the world’s largest terrestrial extant mustelids going on average body mass.
