What does WISENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
The European bison, a large shaggy wild ox with a high hump and a heavy head.
The wisent once ranged across the forests of Europe, but hunting and loss of habitat reduced it almost to extinction in the early twentieth century. Herds bred in captivity were later returned to protected woodlands, notably in Poland and Belarus. Compared with its American cousin, the wisent carries a smaller, higher-set head and a longer tail, and it browses on leaves and bark as well as grass.
