So the owner of that wooded area cant sell the damaged/dead trees anymore. Thats why he is loosing about 7,000 euros (only with 9 Bisons around).

If they have predators, they’ll become more bad tempered.

You say " . . cousin of American bison." That is incorrect. I don't know what do you mean. Maybe you mean "North American bison" or maybe you mean bison from the United States of America. Or, U.S.A. or United States or U.S, or even "The States". America is the name given to the New World, the new continent, five hundred years ago and it is not any country's name.

i refuse to watch videos with that many pop up ad's

Even Czech country reintroduced bisons, aurochs and exmoor horses on several places.

This German lady is hot af.

They "got" the bisons... where from? The programme suggests that the Gerris are doing all the work. The truth is that the project of reintraduction of the species to the wild had been badun in Poland abd that is the source of the bison sfor the Western Europe. We've got the most of them, a word about that would be nice for sake of proffesionalism in jurnalism, don;t you thin so?

Thanks for your information, I wondered where they got them. I'm from Canada; bison have never been entirely exterminated here either. Actually, I confess that I had never known about bison, native to Europe.

Not exactly it was the Germans who set up the breeding program to bring them back Not Poland they just kept them around for hunting

the Germans killed a lot of bison for meat during WWII - even though they knew it was a rare species

And they were right. I'm a conservationist but if people are starving there's no choice. Where I live, people even killed sparrows in order to survive in wartime. Anyway I'm glad we can admire this animal despite that

I think you mean WWI- not WWII. As previously mentioned, the last WILD bison was shot in Poland by German soldiers at the end of WWI. After 1920, only captive bison remained. These animals were the breeding stock, from which all modern bison today come from. They were reintroduced into the Bialowiesza forest in the 1950s- and these animals were the first WILD bison in Europe since the last one was shot 30 something years earlier.

What is that going to prove? try to pet any animal without it's approval and you are going to be hurt. when your cat bites or scratches you that is mostly harmless a animal the size of a bison or Boar and you are heading to the realms of Pain. I would leave those Beautiful creatures alone. especially in the wild and with their young then you are really asking for trouble,

Defending itself when getting annoyed ist not dangerous, it is to be expected.

They need to breed the American bison with the European bison. Make them tougher and bigger. If they can breed them with cattle why not with other. If I had the money I would do that.

I think there where breeding programs like these in past, like the usage of European Bisons for the repopulating of their American cousins, but nowadays, people want to protect the genetic purity of the animals. Since they are still few in numbers, it could directly change the specie as a whole. But both animals have a similar ancestry, and both are lineages of the late Ice age mammal, the Steppe Bison. Btw, the European Bison is actually taller than the American one.

They don't need to have American bison traits. They live in different environments, thus needing different traits. American bison are the perfect plains animals, but European bison are perfect forest animals.

all bisons from the bialowica forest descend from the bialowica bisons who came to Germany in the 19 th century and were reintroduced in Poland.
