The story

A Bison's Big Adventure

Hello there. My name is a European Bison. I am the biggest animal in all of Europe. I have a fluffy brown coat that keeps me warm all day long. I also have a little beard under my chin and two small horns on top of my head. I am very happy you are here. Would you like to listen to my story?

My home is in a big, green forest with lots of tall trees. I live with my family, and we are called a herd. We love to walk through the forest together and explore. My favorite thing to do is find yummy snacks to eat. I love to munch on soft grass and crunch on tasty leaves from the trees. Sometimes, for a special treat, I even get to nibble on tree bark.

A long, long time ago, my family was very small, and we almost disappeared. But kind people helped us. They made sure we had safe places to live where we could have our babies and grow our family. Now, my family is big and strong again. We get to roam through the beautiful forests. We help keep the forest healthy just by being here and eating the plants. It feels good to be a helper.
