Description
I took this picture in the wildlife park Langenberg in Zurich. The park is in the forest and the animals have quite a natural environment.It was a very hot day and most of the animals were hiding in caves and bushes. I was lucky that the bisons were quite active.
However to take the picture I needed to walk through stinging nettles with shorts... I think it was worth it
The wild bisons were hunted to extinction in Europe with only a few surviving in captivity.

Thanks for the information, but I think I would have a hard time pronouncing this. One of my friends is from Poland, I could ask him

Great angle - the face towards the viewer works well. The bison at the back looks huge! Thanks for uploading.

Little correction: the wildlife park name's Langenberg. The Sihlwald is a forest nearby.

They didn't seem to be aggressiv, maybe the heat made them tired XD
There was however a small fence that I removed with photoshop

Oh!! That makes sense! So you use Photoshop for some of your amazing pics?! That's cool!

Yes I use photoshop for most of my pictures.
I guess they would be quite boring without some spice XD
Do you draw your pictures in photoshop?

With the mouse? You must be very skilled thenΒ With a pen you have much more control. I need the graphic tablet to select specific areas of an image.
When I was younger I used to draw mangas(on paper).
Right now I haven't drawn a picture for years. I guess I shuld try again one day.
