European Bison
Bos bonasus
European bison inhabit mixed forests, forest edges, and grassy clearings, where they move through dense vegetation with surprising ease. They graze grasses and sedges while also browsing leaves, twigs, bark, and shrubs. Adults can defend themselves with heavy forequarters, powerful charges, and short curved horns. As Europe’s heaviest land mammal, an adult can reshape woodland clearings through its feeding and movement.
