"I thought it was a haggis in its natural habitat."

Well, yes, but the lowland Ayreshire variety, not the true West Hielan' variety which is much larger and typically served up on a platter on Burns Nights 'round the world.

The West Hielan' Haggis have two legs on one side shorter than the legs on the other. They can run like blazes round a mountain top, but only one direction. If they try and go the other way, they tend to roll downhill. The fact that they can run faster than you or your dogs is no cause for concern. Simply get the dogs chasen' 'em, and wait. They'll come round the mountain soon enough - then you'll be assured of fine eating. That also is where that fine old Scottish folk song, since absconded by Americans, came from: "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain." Everyone knows that the female West Hielan' Haggis is the best eating and most desired for Burns Night and other celebrations.
