The bison is the largest land mammal not only in Belarus, but also in Europe. Bison refers to a species of bull from the genus bison. The Bialowieza bison subspecies lives on our territory. It reaches a mass of up to 1200 kg (males), up to two meters high at the withers. The females are much smaller. The coat is dark brown in color and is developed all over the body. Bison are considered herd animals, but males older than 10 years graze separately and are called odinets. Anyone who is lucky enough to see this rare animal in the wild will undoubtedly be impressed by it. The bison is listed in the Red Book and is considered an unofficial symbol of Belarus
Объяснение:
Зубр — самое крупное наземное млекопитающие не только Беларуси, но и Европы. Зубр относится к виду быков из рода бизонов. На нашей территории обитает подвид — беловежский зубр. Достигает массы до 1200 кг (самцы), высотой в холке до двух метров. Самки значительно меньше. Шерсть тёмно-коричневого цвета и развита по всему телу. Зубры считаются стадными животными, но самцы старше 10 лет пасутся отдельно и называются одинцами. Каждому, кому посчастливиться увидеть в дикой природе это редкое животное, будет несомненно им впечатлён. Зубр занесён в Красную книгу и считается неофициальным символом Беларуси.
