Bisons d'Europe

Voilà bien dix à quinze mille ans qu'ils font lit et continent à part, depuis la dernière grande glaciation. De ce passé commun, ils conservent une allure similaire même si plusieurs caractéristiques permettent de les distinguer sans s'y tromper. L'Européen se tient plus droit, sa bosse est moins prononcée.
