Bison Reserve

Next to the Natural Park of Białowieża we find this reserve, which I must say, is one of the most important attractions of the park as people want to see the animals, especially the bison. Im forest it is difficult to see them since there are only 400 of them running wild. Undoubtedly the star of the park is the European bison who is still alive today thanks to the conservation program of the 20s in the XX century. It looks similar to the American bison, but lighter in build. Its silhouette is solid, with well developed forequarters, large broad head and strong cross. The coat is a dark Brown colour, long, and particularly abundant around the head, shoulders and neck.
