Description:

The behaviour of small herds of European bison (=wisent) Bison bonasus (Linnaeus, 1758) and American bison Bison bison (Linnaeus, 1758) in larger enclosures (2.2 and 0.8 ha respectively) is described, with special reference to use of available space and day rhythm. Some differences between the two species were found, which can be correlated with differences in way of life. The siutability of the enclosures is discussed.
