EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, an adult European Bison female, scientifically known as Bison bonasus, is seen in a serene moment of ruminating after complementary feeding. The image was captured in the Okskii Wildlife Reserve, situated near Ryazan in central Russia, during the autumn season in September. The European Bison, also referred to as the Wisent, is a large and majestic mammal, native to Europe. With their distinctive hump on the shoulders, massive body, and large, curved horns, these creatures are a sight to behold. In this photograph, the bison's head is turned towards the viewer, revealing her expressive face and the intricate details of her horns. Ruminating is a vital behavior for bison, as it allows them to regurgitate and rechew their cud, which aids in the digestion of tough plant material. In this photograph, the bison is standing alone, her body language conveying a sense of calm and contentment. The European Bison once roamed the vast forests of Europe, but they were hunted to near extinction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, conservation efforts have helped to restore their population, and they can be found in various national parks and wildlife reserves across Europe and Russia. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and resilience of these magnificent creatures, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving their habitats and ensuring their continued survival. The image captures a moment of tranquility in the natural world, inviting us to reflect on the history and significance of these majestic animals in our world.
