The '''wisent''' or '''European bison''' (''Bison bonasus''), is the largest living land mammal in Europe, and a relative of the American [[bison]].  At one time nearly extinct, the wisent has made a small comeback through careful breeding of captive individuals, small reintroductions to the wild, and intensive conservation management.
