New bison bridges to be built in Kent woodland

How did the bison cross the road?

No, it's not the start to a terrible joke - it's a question that has finally been answered by a nature reserve in Kent.

New bridges are being built to keep the animals and humans apart in a woodland on the outskirts of Canterbury.

Er worden bruggen gebouwd zodat de bisons en mensen gescheiden van elkaar worden

1. Juist
2. Onjuist

Schrijf het deel van de zin op waaruit blijkt dat de bruggen gebouwd worden om mensen en bisons gescheiden te houden

They're the first of their kind in the UK, and will help tourists to navigate the area while visiting, ensuring that they stay out the way of Europe's heaviest land mammals.

They're classed as dangerous wild animals in UK law, but walking above them over the new bridges will help people admire the bison from a safe distance.

Wat betekent "land mammals"?

1. Dieren op het land
2. Land zoogdieren
3. Landdieren
4. Zoogdieren

That's why £1 million is being spent on this new project, which will consist of four bridges.

 

The bridges will allow the bison to roam 200 hectares (494 acres) of land, rather than 50 hectares (123 acres) as they do currently, without having to close footpaths to the public.
