They are trully majestic 🙂 we absolutely love them.
Fun fact, did you know that they are the last example of pleistocene great fauna in Europe?
Why aren’t they being hunted for their meat? This is odd
TIL we have bison
Is this true? According to Wikipedia there’s something like 15,000 wild bison in the US. Or did you just mean European?
Yummy
They’ve also been an important animal in Romania, being the symbol of the Moldova region. They went extinct over here for a while, then got reintroduced in the late 50s. Now we have about 100 of them total.
