Wisent meets domestic cow

One morning, the two students who are conducting research found the wisents very near to the domestic cows in the adjacent area. The two herds were observing each other carefully, but no more than that. They stayed where they were or lied down, which indicates that they both felt at ease. Finally, the domestic cows walked away from the fence, grazing all the time.

The students have recorded this encounter and more of their experiences in photo reports of August and September
