Wild horses, bison and other big-hoofed animals once roamed freely in much of Europe. Now they are transforming a former military base outside the Czech capital in an ambitious project to improve biodiversity.

This super-smart pup will push your buttons, in a good way, and put a smile on your face, just as she does for her health care worker mom.

With some species wiped out in the wild, the animals now have the chance to live together again in relative freedom. Conservationists deployed them at Milovice five years ago. Now they hope to enlarge the sanctuary by one third to 360 hectares this year. While invasive grasses are a delicacy for wild horses, European bisons and tauros prefer bushes, creating an ideal partnership.

The Czech project includes tauros that were transferred from the Netherlands, where a cross-breeding program aimed at coming close to the original species, the aurochs, started in 2008. That wild ancestor of today’s cattle became extinct in the 17th century. The most precious is the star gentian, also known as a cross gentian. The blue flower is now flourishing at Milovice more than anywhere else in the country.

Is it to 'restore' the biodiversity that was there before? That's a good idea.

Go to Fort Polk, Louisana. There's alot of wild horses roaming around.
