Bison Calf Born on Belarusian Farm: Mother Cow Dies, But Calf Survives

In the Sharkovsky district of Belarus, an unusual event occurred on a farm. A cow gave birth to a bison calf weighing 50 kg, twice the weight of a normal calf. "We have never seen anything like this before," said one of the farm workers. Unfortunately, the cow died during the difficult birth. However, the bison calf survived and is now being raised separately. This is the second such case on the farm, possibly due to a lone bison that joined the local herd last year. The unexpected event highlights the unusual interactions between wild and domestic animals. The survival of the bison calf offers a positive note to this story.
