Hi, thanks! i used my Benro video tripod mostly. many shots were in advanced zoom, together with the 4K crop it results in 1184mm zoom. That needs quite some support :-).
@@TheSuperappelflap I had several hundred of these things on my hands for years. I know a poor condition criitter when I see one. How many do you have?
The European bison is thinner than the American species. Their habitat is more woodland while the American bison lives on the prairie. Being wider is not an advantage in wooded areas where you need to move between trees and change directions quickly to run around them. The population of bison in the Netherlands is growing without any intervention or feeding by humans. Animals that are not being fed by humans will usually be less fat than we are used to seeing, but this is not abnormal. It is their natural state. The ones we give extra food are either unrealistically healthy or too fat. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisent#Wisenten_in_Nederland
This process could be interesting if there were large predators and scavengers, but actually there are nothing like that in those reserve. Suo, it's not really natural
Wolves have arrived in these reserves so the problem is solving itself. Also, we are shooting weak and old animals that wont make it through the winter to simulate death due to predation and make sure there is enough food left for the healthy animals. Eventually we will need to start talking about releasing wildcats and maybe even brown bears to keep the grazer population further under control. Anyway, what else would you have us do? Not have koniks or deer in these areas? Its natural for some of them to die due to predation and some of them to die in winter due to harsh conditions. That is life in our northern climate. It has never been any different. If you dont want to see natural processes, dont go to these reserves, go to the zoo. Up until quite recently, people starved in winter too. Before we had potatoes.

mooi !!
Regresando a su antiguo havit 🤝🇪🇸
Nice footages, what gear do you use to stabilize your shoots?

Damn they're thin. I suspect the winter grass available isn't adequate in either quality or quantity.
In summer European bison are not much thicker, they are already quite slender. But the one cow at 2:11 looks pretty thin indeed.
I agree they are thin
They're much thinner compared to American Bison. They're also probably readjusting to being back in this kind of terrain
They arent being given any extra food and the herd is growing, so there is enough food. This is how wild animals are supposed to look.

Very thin indeed. Need some human intervention. Plain to see. Compare with USA bison and those in Polish Reserve.

Disgusting ! Is this the same reserve in Holland that's noted for the 100's of starving Red deer, Konik horses, wild "cattle" that perish !

No, that is the Oostvaardersplassen.

It is the natural way of life. You can not have a to large herbivore population in an area or they will consume everything and die themselves.
And even after we had potatoes like the Irish potato famine.
