THE BREEDING OF THE AMERICAN BISON BISON BISON IN THE ZOO "ASKANIA NOVA"
Keywords:
Бізон американський, розведення, розмноження, зоопаркAbstract
The results of the breeding of bison, dynamics of their population, peculiarity of their reproduction in the south of Ukraine are given in the article . Some changes of rhythms of their reproduction are found. These changes occur during acclimatization and are concerning to the keeping conditions to a considerable extent.
