What’s Europe’s largest land animal?

The European bison is the heaviest wild land animal in Europe – one of two extant species of bison, alongside the American bison. A century ago, European bison were extinct in the wild but are now recovering through European reintroduction projects. The 7,000 bison living in Europe today descend from just 12 zoo animals.
