PLATE 6 



Wisent, or European bison (Bison bonasus). These are the first of these animals to be 

 exhibited in the National Zoological Park. Wisents are extinct in the wild and there 

 are only a few in captivity. This picture shows the high, narrow form characteristic 

 of the animal. They are much less massive than the American bison. The photograph 

 suggests slightly more of a hump than these animals possess.
