Jim Horne notes:

121 Down error: The term Wisent (Bison bonasus) refers specifically to the European bison. While they are close relatives of the North American bison (Bison bison), they are distinct species with different physical characteristics—wisents are generally taller and less "shaggy" than their American cousins.
