The first wild bison has been born in the UK for thousands of years in what has been hailed as a “monumental moment” by naturists.
Three of the animals were released into the Kent countryside in July but unknown to rangers was that one bison was pregnant - a fact the species keeps hidden to deter predators.
Rangers did not see the mother give birth as the female found a secluded location and the female calf was discovered days later.
Tom Gibbs, a bison ranger, told reporters: “What this baby bison born into the wild here represents… It’s a monumental moment.
