In the Netherlands they use Scottish Highlanders. However, it has also been discovered that there only needs to be a few animals per hectare. Too many animals also means damage to plants. Animals also eat selectively, animals also have preferred places to walk. Yes, it works with at least animals on a large surface area. Then the rare plants return.

Bison may have been extirpated from Spain, however extirpated is not extinct. It just means the local population has been wiped out, usually by humans. And about the fire issue, beavers can also be highly effective in altering the land in positive ways, creating ponds and slowing water flow as well as habitat improvement. The UK has been reintroducing them in small numbers. Fortunately for me I can drive for an hour to see North American Bison in a National Park. Do recommend staying a safe distance and doing photography with a 400mm lens or more.

The dung beetle is the source of the ancient Egyptian scarab. The dung beetle is seen as a renewal of life, the evolutionary recycler: (1) Improved soil structure: (2) Dung beetles burrow tunnels that carry nitrogen into the soil, allowing it to hold more water and support crops. (3) This also helps prevent runoff, which can create "dead zones" in nearby bodies of water. Improved nutrient cycling: (4)Dung beetles move nutrient-rich organic material to where plant roots can reach it, and where it can feed other soil organisms. (5) Increased pasture yields: Dung beetles incorporate organic matter into the soil, which increases its friability, aeration, and water-holding capacity. (6) Reduced pasture surface pollution: Dung beetles remove contaminated fececs from pasture surfaces. (7) Reduced animal diseases: Dung beetles suppress dung-dwelling human and livestock parasites and pathogens. (8) Reduced nitrogen loss in livestock feces: Dung beetles help reduce nitrogen loss in livestock feces.(9) Increased effective grazing: Dung beetles increase the biomass of forage for ranching systems. (10) Reduced insect pests: Dung beetles reduce populations of insect pests that breed in animal feces. (11) Decreased greenhouse gases: (12) Dung beetles help bury carbon and store it in the soil.(13) Improved water quality: Dung beetles can improve water quality by removing nutrients from runoff Human use of chemicals kills dung beetles along with various other insects, including the soft body insects necessary for birds, particularly song birds to feed their hatchlings. Fun Fact: lions and big cats do not see humans as food, however, will attack humans if perceived as a threat including roaming around in their territory--essentially their pantry and intruding on mating land. The more interesting studies show that human smell putrid to the big cats, probably should be eliminated. Given the average human diet most of us are pre-embalmed and that doesn't sound tasty.

Here's the largest problem with relocating bison in to ANY AREA: They find one good spot with lots of water and food... Usually near a river. They eat and destroy the edges of the rivers and without natural predators to move them along they will erode riverbanks pretty drastically. Yellowstone is dealing with the issue currently and the Yellowstone River is getting destroyed because of it.

The European Bison still suffers from very limited living space.
He’s saying Andalucia wrong, no?
Yes, you’re the only who noticed!
He's saying Anda-loo-asia
Yes, glad others noticed
@@msstry1 Who knew Spain was so far east. 🤪
Anda-LOO, SEE-AH
Bison have wool, not fur. The European bison are called "wisent."
Although the popularity of the term "bison" turns this to the de facto standard in popular culture.
no they arent
Thanks,,,, I didn’t think they were the same like American Bison.
Alleen in het Nederlands volgens mij.
what is the functional difference between wool and fur, beyond pedantry?
In the Netherlands they use Scottish Highlanders. However, it has also been discovered that there only needs to be a few animals per hectare. Too many animals also means damage to plants. Animals also eat selectively, animals also have preferred places to walk. Yes, it works with at least animals on a large surface area. Then the rare plants return.
Bison may have been extirpated from Spain, however extirpated is not extinct. It just means the local population has been wiped out, usually by humans. And about the fire issue, beavers can also be highly effective in altering the land in positive ways, creating ponds and slowing water flow as well as habitat improvement. The UK has been reintroducing them in small numbers. Fortunately for me I can drive for an hour to see North American Bison in a National Park. Do recommend staying a safe distance and doing photography with a 400mm lens or more.
Prong horn antelope were reintroduced to s/e s l o County, n/e sta Barbra and n/w ventura County, and doing well.
Very informative except if you are going to talk about European bison don’t show pictures of American buffalo. They are quite different animals
American Bison
@@debrastiens6216both Bison and Buffalo are correct
I know, but we in America usually call them bison and those who raise them here refer to them as bison, as well as the wild ones in Yellowstone. When I think of buffalo, the water buffalo in Africa come to mind, which look vastly different than the other two. Including beef and dairy cattle, they are all bovines. Dawn was trying to make a distinction between bison and buffalo and said they are different animals, which isn’t the case. Actually, I just was just correcting her and trying to avoid a long explanation. She is correct in that much of the photos were of American bison. You have now been informed. Thank you. Just joking. 🤣🤣🦬
They mostly showed pictures of European bison.
US buffalo, sir. AMERICAN is a historical and continental identity like European, Asian and African that refers to all people from countries of AMERICA, an entire continent since 1507, composed of 35 countries, officially discovered and named in the South by the Catholics and not by a bunch of Protestants Pilgrims who arrived in the American continent centuries later and didn't spend a cent on the enterprise of the discovery of America. Stay in your place, please.
Fabulous information. I have great hopes for this program to work. Most of the time that humans get involved with nature, a big problem develops, and leads to a total disaster.
Indeed, like in the Netherlands were I believe 120 bison died. A failed reintroduction that imo could have been prevented.
Reminder that humans are saving them and bringing them back.
i remember when there was a story in Poland when the cow joined the bison herd .They took care of her because people couldn't believe how cows could survive -25C in winter..It is interesting how do they differ from American Bison
Cattle here in Saskatchewan (Canada) survive through colder temperatures than -25 C. It gets as cold as -40 C here. Then, of course, there are the Muskoxen, who live on the Tundra in Northern Canada...temperatures can reach -60 C in some areas, yet they still survive.
@@timcoolican459 ...came here to say the same. The -25C part made me laugh cuz that ain't nothin' as you have said. Hey from northern BC.
@@pushindaisies5327 Yep...ya gotta laugh sometimes. I have worked construction most of my life, with a lot of work in northern Saskatchewan. For an entire week it reached -50 C on the one site...that was a chilly one. But even on the farm in central Saskatchewan, we would have weeks of -40 C weather. I used to check the herds on snowmobile to save the horses for warmer days...lol...Cheers from Saskatoon.
Very informative and excellent news as well. I eat Carnivore, so I'm very happy to see the expansion of these wonderful animals.
They have brought them back to the UK into the woods that I played in back in the 1950s
There should be wood bison living in the upper midwest. Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Northern Michigan should have herds of free roaming bison. The ecosystem there currently lacks grazers.
Yeah give the wolves something to eat besides deer
@@robertlivingston1634 Give the humans something to eat besides deer. The way prices are getting at the grocery store, we're all going to be starving soon.
Woodland elk would be cool too
@@tomcollins5112 You can buy bison in the store. It is niche so it is expensive. If it was raised in mass though, I am sure prices would come down. Best yet, bison will not destroy the land like cattle do.
@@Nessy-of-the-Lynn I don't want to buy bison from the store, and I don't want them to be farm raised. I want to see those shit machines grazing freely and making their contribution to the ecosystem naturally.
After watching the Bison story the way you tell it, I want to have one to take care of my backyard.
😂 try something safer first, like a rabbit?
@@fenrirggOr rent a few goats
It's possible, they are quite timid.
If had a bison I would disown him!
@@hotbit7327 They need a lot of space and are herd animals, not solitary souls, so you’d have to have a few bison to help them maintain their healthy state of being.
Dung Beetles are adorable.
Wow these guys are slim studs not giants like American bison, did not know Europe had bison! ❤
The Yukon has wood bison.
because they are Wisent and not Bison. Look similar but are not
Europa has. A Bufala
Andalu-ASIA! …where you eat paella with chopsticks! 😂😂😂
Love the fact that these animals are doing well in Spain! I’m of Southern Spanish heritage and the mis-pronunciation of my parents home land is painful. The southern area is called Andalusia. And should be pronounced Anda-Loo-Sia. And not Anda-Lue-Shia. Sorry for being picky but I’m sure if your name was mispronounced you would correct it!
I'm not remotely of Spanish ancestry and I couldn't understand how he kept butchering a simple 3 syllable word 😂
Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and the rest of the east had bison originally.
I read a theory recently that bison were not naturally native to Kentucky, Tennessee or much of the area east of the Mississippi That the original large herbivore was caribou but they were eliminated before Columbus and the a high native population kept bison out of the east And then small pox and other epidemics killed most of the native people which allowed bison to expand their range , but stunted growth from mineral and nutritional deficiency proved that they were outside their range
Greatest idea for Spain...animals bring back real nature...and water👐👍👏👏
Not sure those are the mechanics of a haiku.
But, no explanation of the bizarre pic at thumb nail?!
Buffalo wallows
Still no explanation!
Buffalo wallows form small ponds which help frogs and other amphibians.
@@verenamaharajah6082. Most You tube channels are like that. Go figure.
Have to giggle at your little cameos…heeeeeee heeeeee helarious 😂
There is a farm around 20 miles south of where i live in far NE Scotland that has had Bison for well over 10 years now. I would enjoy watching them as i passed on the train while my sweet mother was still here and i would go spend half the week with her as her health faded. I think the farm mostly makes Buffalo Mozarella cheese. Please excuse any spelling mitsakes. :}
Great video, very informative and dynamic. Love it!
Now that’s what I consider progress. Educate our youth and preserve our wonderful earth.
Awesome ! I want one of those in my garden
This is one of the best pieces you’ve put together! Excellent news that I have not come into contact with before this wonderful bit of your great work.
I just subscribed. Really hope this channel continues for some time.
Hi Steve. Could you please make a Bison vs Buffalo video, I'm a big fan of both animals and your channel as well
They used to call them Buffalo until they were hunted to near extinction... Then they had to say "Bye, son!" *waves
@@tetravega567HA, HA! 😅😊
In Caves in Northern Spain Paleolithic cave art, that developed across Europe from the Urals to the Iberian Peninsula from 35,000 to 11,000 BC, shows Bison among other animals. So Bison should be part of Spain's natural habitat.
However, climate was much different back then.
IT AMAZES ME THAT ONLY ONE OTHER COUNTRY RECOGNIZES WHAT THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF AMERICA ALREADY KNEW, AND ARE NOW SEEING THEIR AMAZING ATTRIBUTES. GOOD FOR YOU. A CHEROKEE!
The Tenet tribes in Siberia have not changed their way of life in over ten thousand years. The are nomadic, following the reindeer herds in their migrations. The hunts provide food and skins for making their portable homes, which they carry on sleds pulled by....reindeer.
Having grown up near Buffalo, NY, I approve of this message.
Cash crops around the world have caused disastrous soil health which is the core element to balance climate, and all the rest. Let's hope these bison can teach us how well nature works ❤
A major factor why bison better than cattle for regeneration . Bison are shirt tongued and cannit pull up grass by the roots. They can only graze the top and leave half the grass to grow
Seriously, this thumbnail looks crazy
How do you get "Andalu-Asia" from "Andalu-sia (or -cia)"?
ANDALUCÍA. Andalucía. 😊
Fantastic Vid!! In the same light would be great to get a good session about the Wolf Reintroduction in Yellowstone and the impact it has had...
Very informative as well as interesting history.
It is quite interesting how it survived in polish lowlands ,the last habitat was found in a more boggy area .After that they set them up the national park after the WW1
Fantastic video. Did not know about this. Great!
Amazing! Thank you!
Very interesting. Great example of how animals impact the lives of other species.
Very well explained!
Good morning! In the process of eating the underbrush they reduced the fire hazard! Well, I just should have waited. Great information. Catch you next time!
It's because of the creepy cartoon figure
Its interesting how different these guys look compared to North American bison.
I love your Videos!
Hilarious and educational…a win-win. ❤
Awesome content! Wow! Sounds like there should feel a hundred Bison relocation project and increase that special 💩 herd gift ALL the depleted landscapes of the world in need. Wonderful content! Solutions that are created by creatures natural habits and recreating a healthy ecosystem. Awesome articulationand awareness! Bravo!!!🎉😂
I agree with this introduction but at the same time it needs predictors to also keep the balance. Trying to reverse human interaction will be very time consuming though and no one will want to give up the required acreage required to actually make a massive impact
This is an excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to make this for us to watch. I do have a question, though, every single thing said in this video was complementary to bison. And that’s for a good reason. But I’m always curious to know if there’s any downside to it. I become a little suspicious with videos that only show the upside to something, especially if it’s lots and lots of upside. Is there any downside to it? I would be interested to know only because nothing is perfect.
Upside? Downside? It's nobbut bloody cartoons! to amuse children, and zero pretension to realistic.
I wanted to watch this... but that MUSIC , why???? I can't listen anymore. Damn it.
"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the..." Buffalo Wallows!!
Rain in Andalucia? Really???

The dung beetle is the source of the ancient Egyptian scarab. The dung beetle is seen as a renewal of life, the evolutionary recycler: (1) Improved soil structure: (2) Dung beetles burrow tunnels that carry nitrogen into the soil, allowing it to hold more water and support crops. (3) This also helps prevent runoff, which can create "dead zones" in nearby bodies of water. Improved nutrient cycling: (4)Dung beetles move nutrient-rich organic material to where plant roots can reach it, and where it can feed other soil organisms. (5) Increased pasture yields: Dung beetles incorporate organic matter into the soil, which increases its friability, aeration, and water-holding capacity. (6) Reduced pasture surface pollution: Dung beetles remove contaminated fececs from pasture surfaces. (7) Reduced animal diseases: Dung beetles suppress dung-dwelling human and livestock parasites and pathogens. (8) Reduced nitrogen loss in livestock feces: Dung beetles help reduce nitrogen loss in livestock feces.(9) Increased effective grazing: Dung beetles increase the biomass of forage for ranching systems. (10) Reduced insect pests: Dung beetles reduce populations of insect pests that breed in animal feces. (11) Decreased greenhouse gases: (12) Dung beetles help bury carbon and store it in the soil.(13) Improved water quality: Dung beetles can improve water quality by removing nutrients from runoff Human use of chemicals kills dung beetles along with various other insects, including the soft body insects necessary for birds, particularly song birds to feed their hatchlings. Fun Fact: lions and big cats do not see humans as food, however, will attack humans if perceived as a threat including roaming around in their territory--essentially their pantry and intruding on mating land. The more interesting studies show that human smell putrid to the big cats, probably should be eliminated. Given the average human diet most of us are pre-embalmed and that doesn't sound tasty.
Here's the largest problem with relocating bison in to ANY AREA: They find one good spot with lots of water and food... Usually near a river. They eat and destroy the edges of the rivers and without natural predators to move them along they will erode riverbanks pretty drastically. Yellowstone is dealing with the issue currently and the Yellowstone River is getting destroyed because of it.
Love the bison! Thank you Poland! Love Poland!
So interesting and informative! Bison are essential for biodiversity!
I was thinking about this yesterday
Concerned about bison introduction in the arid south. Maybe northern Spain mire suitable.
Fantastic bisons❤🎉🎉🎉
bisen tapas coming to a bar near you . . dung beetles are the most underrated insect in the world. .
Very interesting, but your picture was VERY misleading.
Such a beautiful creature. I love to see the European version as I'm from America.
Wowza
Thank you very much
So somebody released a private European bison herd (basically a cattle herd) on their ranch. Cool
What kind of mushrooms grow in bison dung? Asking for a friend 😂.
Towelie? is that you?!?!
This idea is not new. They've been practicing 'rejuvenative agriculture' in Africa for some 30 years now. It is also being adopted by ranchers in North America, who have been practicing it for 10 years or more...some for the entirety of their ranch's lifespan. It's good to see Europe is finally doing this.
I loove how you read Białowierza Forest xD
For anybody wondering where this is it's actually pronounced Ahn-dah-lou-thee-a Andalucia. hope this helps
Didn't know how many Sims of a cow eating grass and pooping were possible 🤣
I wonder if their grazing also reduces fire risk? Yup! 😂
The warming of the Earth does not automatically equate to increase dry conditions. We are in a inter-glacial period but the Earth is typically much warmer than today with far more CO2 content in the air and far more humid and green. Even Antarctica used to be covered with forests. The problem is not a warming Earth, the problem will be if it gets colder again (remember, we are in an inter-glacial period).
Wow! This is awesome! I wonder if the buffalo was this good to earth. I’ve never been too crazy about being too gung-ho on maintaining endangered species. Of course we should protect them. And prevent their extinction. But, some have played with the possibility of bringing the mammoth back and I don’t agree w such. I simply think it’s part of a cycle. But, these animals may just have changed my mind. What if the qualities of the mammoth are similar to the bison?
Not keen on restoring species long extinct. Keen on restoring animals and environment that belong but have been destroyed by man. Man and animals can get along. Spain and Portugal are at the forefront because huge areas are being depopulated as people move from towns for richer future.
@@knoll9812 I agree. But, there’s one equation that is always ignored… man. 🤪 I know it sounds silly, but we are evolving too. So, in conversations on evolution or preservation, the science is constantly making us the species against all species. But, if we saw ourselves as animals, wouldn’t that just make us the alpha? I think we tend to look at ourselves as though we’re the ‘evolved’ ones here. But, we aren’t. We haven’t even been here so long. Neanderthals are still winning in terms of how long they lasted as a species. So, the human species is destructive, because we have not evolved enough. Ants build their elaborate societies much like we do. But, they’re a lot tinier.
I didn't have any idea that Europe had bison. I have never heard of this before.
Wouldn't mind finding out what Bison steak tastes like
Very cool. hopefully they preserve the species. they may be delicious. and deserve freedom of course.
"..the largest ( herbivore) mammal...in Europe". A Very important distinction when talking of 'poop'!
man what's the deal with the post image tho? whats with the bison in the holes?
Great video. However some sound effects are too loud and make me feel afraid
You can fix that by turning your volume down 😂
I had no idea that bison were native to Europe.
@0:30 It's Andalusia not Andaluasia and it's on Spain's southern coast, not central near Madrid. Maybe the people who prepared for the video might have spent a little more time on accuracy. After all, this video has already had 348,000 views in only 2 weeks. That's a lot of errors needing to be corrected. If you're going to be spreading errors so much, colleges and universities will hate the competition.
Dung also makes Magic Shrooms :-)
The reason bison were so heavily hunted and killed so easily was their loyalty to the herd! I have hunted bison and when a bison drops the entire herd will gather around and try to help or protect. So you can understand why they were almost hunted to extinction! The pictures of horsemen chasing the stampeding herd of bison in my opinion was was falsely portrayed to create the drama of the hunt. In my years of hunting I have never witnessed a bison stampede from gunfire, people or vehicles!
I wonder if they have any in Florida 😎
Ruminants saving humanity! ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome :)
I can't wait for the bisontennial.
The planet needs mega fauna and flora... for humans to survive. I think this project is amazing and hope the rest of the EU copies this. ❤❤❤
What are you doing step bison 😩
Grate!
What Cheese?
Your prenounciation of Białowieża is just hillarious :D I think it would be much better to just say White Tower ;)
Does he mean Andalucía? (The 'c' is pronounced 'th' and the stress is on the 'i')I live there. Never heard of Andaluacia.😂
Plus the glimpse of the map seemed to suggest the were in Castilla-la Mancha in central Spain not Andalucía in the south. Poor.
It's a robot.
In English is pronounced Andalusia, so…
Looks delicious… can I eat it?
No mention of the aurochs? Seems relevant
Farm animals could also be the solution but they must be moved and managed in ways that mirror natural patterns.
Spain should watch your beaver video!
wow they are like litle life making machines
Wonderful channel but speaker sounds like he is yelling even when turned down
