Watch the moment bison were released into the UK

Four European bison have been released into ancient woodland in south-east England. The project aims to explore the potential benefits such large animals can have on woodland ecosystems.

The release of two calves from Ireland, a bull from Germany and a matriarch that was being held in captivity in Scotland was delayed by three months due to paperwork headaches around wild animal imports, as the UK is no longer a member of the European Union.
