Rare wisents in the last of Europe’s primeval forests
Straddling the border between Poland and Belarus, the 8,000-year-old Bialowieza Forest is a very special place. Here, in Europe’s last primeval forest, it is possible to see one of the world’s rarest animal: the Wisent, or European bison. Weighing up to 800kg, the wisent is Europe’s heaviest land mammal.
