In German, kurz means short. It is also a fairly common family name.

Ducks have fairly short legs.

Which normally doesn’t inconvenience them much.

For other species it can create an advantage or an obstacle, depending on the terrain and intention.

And – believe it or not – we humans were the ones behind the fence. And the shepherd at the back of this herd kept shouting: “Close the gate, close the gate! They’ll overrun you!”
“The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot forever fence it out.”
– J. R. R. Tolkien

This is linked to A Photo a Week: twisted. This little dog will twist his head a full 360° to catch a glimpse of his human. But it is no ordinary love, she is a medical rescue dog who is trained to look out for her owner in case he is having heart problems.
Another twisted tale – not a good photo but I saw this buck with wire twisted up in his antler. We reported it, and I think (hope) he was helped.
