Alpine zoo welcomes a cute baby bison
Pitch-black saucer eyes, tiny horns and a cute snout: a bison calf recently saw the light of day at the Innsbruck Alpine Zoo. The pictures of the little ball of fur are adorable.
The baby boom at the Innsbruck Alpine Zoo continues! The offspring of beavers, ibex and chamois have now been joined by the newborn bison calf. "The little one is healthy and developing very well," reports Alpine Zoo Director André Stadler happily. "It's great that our bison family is getting bigger and bigger."
The Alpine Zoo is also involved in reintroduction programs with its bison. "The young animal is, so to speak, species protection to watch."
Powerhouses weighing up to 900 kilos
Bison are also known as European bison and are the largest land mammals in Europe. The calf is still a long way off, but in a few years it will weigh up to 900 kilos. The adult animals are real powerhouses. They are characterized by their strong shoulders, raised withers and broad, usually lowered head.
