The ranger filmed these majestic animals with the help of a drone, so the generally scared animals didn’t pay much attention to the aerial “satellite” following them.
According to Wikipedia, the first bison disappeared in Gaul (8th century), northern Sweden (11th century), and England (12th century). In the Ardennes and Vosges, the bison survived until the 15th century.
The bison population survived the longest in Eastern Europe. In Transylvania, the last representative of this species died in 1790, and in the northeastern regions the bison survived even longer because it was the legal property of the kings of Poland, the Grand Dukes of Lithuania and the Tsars of Russia. 16th century In the late 19th century, Sigismund the Elder legalized the death penalty for hunting bison. Despite these bans, the bison population continued to decline in these states as well.
Many bison were victims of the German army in the First World War. Occupying northern Poland (as well as the Białowieża Forest), 600 animals were slaughtered for meat, hides and horns. German scientists asked to draw the attention of army officers to the complete destruction of the bison population, but only 9 bison remained alive at the end of the war.
The last bison were exterminated in the interwar period (in the Białowieża Forest in 1919, in the Caucasus in 1927). Purebreds (48 in total) still survived in some European zoos and parks, so breeding has begun. Bison restoration in the Białowieża Forest has been resumed since 1929 and since 1952. Young bison were released (500 released for the first time).
