A huge herd of bison crossed the road near Szudziałów in the Podlaskie Voivodeship. We received the material on Kontakt24. The recording shows a group of animals of various ages, from young animals to majestic, mature animals.
At Kontakt24 we received a recording showing a large herd of bison that yesterday ran across the road near the town of Szudziałowo (Podlaskie Voivodeship). Among them were individuals of various ages, including young ones who ran bravely with the adults.
Not the first meeting
The situation was immortalized by Reporter24 by Mr. Antoni. The video shows that the animals crossed the road for almost a minute and a half, forcing drivers to stop for a moment.
– Yesterday, around 1:30 p.m., I saw a herd of Podlasie bisons spectacularly crossing the ice-covered road. I photograph these animals, so it wasn't my first encounter with them – commented the Internet user. He added that drivers were taking appropriate care on the road. – Both on one side and on the other they stopped. The herd made it to the other side safely, he said.
Bisons in Poland
European bison (Bos bonasus) is the largest land mammal in Europe. According to the data from the Bison Pedigree Book, at the end of 2023, there were 2,820 individuals living in Poland, of which 2,626 were in the wild. Most bison live in north-eastern Poland, in the Białowieża, Knyszyńska and Borecka Forests, but large herds also live in the Bieszczady Mountains and the western regions of the country.
