Male European bison (Bison bonasus) fed to a Polar bear (Ursus maritimus). Three European bison (one male and two females) from this group have been released in Azerbaijan and Romania in recent years, which emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable ex-situ breeding programs for species conservation and reintroduction projects.
