Topoľčianska zubria zvernica, Protected bison sanctuary in Zlaté Moravce District, Slovakia.
The protected site spans 140 hectares of oak forest land, divided into four distinct sections where European bison roam within natural enclosures.
The sanctuary opened in 1973 as part of an international initiative to prevent European bison extinction, when global population numbers were critically low.
European bison at this facility contribute to scientific research about the species, providing data about their behavior and breeding patterns in controlled environments.
Visitors can observe the bison during feeding times at 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM, with the facility maintaining regular hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Each bison calf born at the sanctuary receives a name starting with 'Si', creating a distinctive naming system for tracking Slovak-born specimens.
