Animal watching at the Wisentgehege Springe

The bison enclosure was founded in 1928 to save the bison - Europe's largest mammal - from extinction. With 310 births by 2007, the bison enclosure has made a significant contribution to the survival of the species. Today, the enclosure provides a species-appropriate home for around 100 species of wildlife on an area of over 90 hectares, including pristine bison and Przewalski's wild horses, magnificent brown bears and elegant otters as well as mysterious wolves.
