First UK Wild Bison Calf in Millennia Is Born, Surprising Rangers (Pics & Video)

The unexpected arrival at a pioneering rewilding project in Kent is as significant as she is adorable. Back in July, three female bison made history after being reintroduced to a reserve in Kent, UK, as the first wild roaming bison in Britain for thousands of years. Now, the pioneering rewilding project is making history again with the arrival a bouncing little baby bison that has surprised rangers. It is the first wild bison born in the UK in millennia. You can watch video below the article.

The other bison welcomed the new arrival, cleaning her and screening her off in case of any potential threat. They also happily babysit for the mother when she is resting, Gibbs added. The calf is thought to have been born on 9 September, but the announcement has been delayed. The bull from Germany is to be introduced gradually, but the wildlife workers do not expect problems. "The matriarch rules the roost – she's top of the hierarchy at all times and he'll conform to what she dictates. His interest will be in the older females, not the calf."
