Wisent and Bison Enclosure Achim Wickel

Nice enclosure. Bison on one side and bison on the other.

The wisent or European bison (Bos bonasus; often also Bison bonasus) is a European type of cattle (Bovini). Wisents were found in the primeval forests of Western, Central and Southeastern Europe until the early Middle Ages. Their habitat are temperate deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests. Wisents are herd animals, but only to be found in small groups depending on their habitat. Typical herds include 12 to 20 animals and consist of cows and young animals. Sexually mature bulls stay with the herds only during the rutting season. The outwardly similar American bison (Bos bison) can be crossed with the wisent without restriction.Source: Wikipedia
