European Bison Coming Back to Forests in Germany
- 7 years ago
The first wild bison to be seen in Germany for 250 years has been shot dead - just a day after it was spotted near a river.
A passerby saw the European bison as it was grazing next to the river Oder, close to the eastern German town of Lebus, on the border with Poland.
But the next day, an official ruled that the protected animal was a danger to the public and ordered hunters to shoot it.
