Original - The wisent or European bison (Bison bonasus) is the heaviest of the surviving land mammals in Europe. This male wisent was photographed in a game park near Springe in Germany. In keeping with the spring season, the wisent is moulting, his winter coat coming off in clumps.

Reason: Compelling composition. Technical aspects okay. Promoted at Commons earlier this year.
