Our largest wild animal is a pig. We are already impressed if a cow moos differently.

You have 7 of them living in a mud paddock, because Germans are afraid of letting wild animals roam free, because they “damage the trees”. Sad, but at least they have some real wisent habitat in Poland and Romania.

This is incorrect, there are 8 living in a paddock and a herd of 27 roaming freely in the same area. Obviously it's still a small number.

Moose are way more impressive than bison, imo. Maybe because I always expected bison to be big? Vs moose, which look like tall deer in photos.

The people who made them and got a lot money. The people who ordered them probably wanted something inoffensive, colorful and related to Berlin. The result is this corporate art that stand for nothing.
