Watch the moment bison were released into UK as part of rewilding project

Four European bison have been released into ancient woodland in south-east England, part of a rewilding project. The aim is 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.
