European bison: return of the giants
Karachayevo-Cherkessia. Crystal-clean air. Snowy mountaintops. Broad valleys. Eternal serenity. Among all this beauty of the Caucasus Mountains lives an animal whose power and majesty allows it to lay claim to the title “master of the forest”. It makes its home in Terberdinsky National Park, living in conditions as close as possible to those in the wild. These mighty beasts have lived in the Caucasus since time immemorial. The gentle giants, who managed to survive the Ice Age, eventually found themselves on the brink of complete extinction. Even now they remain a vulnerable species, forced to continually adapt to an ever-changing world. Discover more about these last wild bulls of Europe, European Bison, on RTG TV.
