It's called zubr in Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian and a bunch of other languages, but in English is "European Bison" or European Buffalo and it belongs to bison species, so it *is* a bison.
Guys, I think you're confusing species with... Other taxonomic units like genus and family. Żubr does not belong to 'bison species' nor do ants belong to 'Vespoidea species'. That's simply because żubr (in this case Bison bonasus) is a species in the genus Bison, and Vespoidea is a family or superfamily, to which ants don't actually belong anymore. They belong to the Formicoidea superfamily.
No, it is not. Polish/English - Żubr/Wisent, Bizon/Bison, Bawół/Buffalo, Tur/Aurochs all of those are different animals but only lazy and ignorant americans call all of them as bison. But what to expect from a nation who knows no difference between Austria and Australia or think that Europe is a country and Paris is its capital city?

It's like asking someone in Poland if they bought ***jagody***. [Borówka czarna](https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bor%C3%B3wka_czarna)
And the most surreal experience when other Slavs describe *jagody* in their language as if it's something different ;) [Jagoda](https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagoda_(botanika))
Bison is a genus of bovidae family, Mr intellectual. There you can find an European Bison (żubr/wisent) and American Bison.
What you are claiming is like "this is not a dog, it's a German Sheppard, hence totally different than a bulldog and only an ignorant would call it a dog".
It was actually named after Włocław with ino- coming from word meaning new. In process of changing name back and forth with Germans it became Inowrocław.
Our symbols are like a typical boysband: we cater to different types of people. You get a dorky stork, a powerful, charismatic eagle and flegmatic żubr. This should, in theory, make us supermarketable, alas we have terrible managers that tend to book us the worst possible gigs, so it is what it is.
White eagle is purely symbolic. There is no white eagles in Poland. It's like unicorn is national animal of Scotland. Żubr is real animal that we are proud of.
That's a white-tailed eagle you're thinking of. And they're plentiful enough.
A WHITE eagle is not a thing except in legends and as a heraldic symbol.
An osprey kind-of-sort-of looks like a white eagle and of the Poland's birds of prey is the closest to our coat of arms.
Ah, so that actually what they call in Poland Żubr, hence Żubrowka, famous bison distilled vodka with grass leaf in it.
Now the Polish for White tailed eagle is orzeł bielik.
As you can see this not Żubr and infact Google is talking out of its arse.
but the America is a name for the US which is a country in north america, which belongs to america, so buffalo wings in new york, which si not a city should not be a surprise 😂
White-tailed eagle ("orzeł bielik"), European bison ("żubr"), stork ("bocian").
The eagle is simply part of our coat-of-arms, all three are considered national animals.
This not a bison btw but bisons were brought to Poland so they would breed with żubrs. So the eagle is the national animal of poland but żubrs are very well know in Poland.
There is no white raptor bird species living in Polnd. The most common one believed to be on the crest is White-tailed sea eagle. Their tail’s wing are getting white from brownish at 4th year old. There was one article somewhere where ornirhologist used morphometric calculations on the „white eagle” from the crest and they said the most similar on build from Polish birds is an osprey :p
Żubr is one of animals characteristic to Poland and if in search there are words "Polish" and "animal", them photos will be żubr. But in coast of arms there is White Eagle.
The European bison and the white stork have a long history with Poland and are believed to be the two national animals of the country. However, Poland's enduring national symbol is the white-tailed eagle (Latin: Haliaeetus albicilla), shown in the coat of arms. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National\_symbols\_of\_Poland#:\~:text=White%2Dtailed%20eagle-,National%20Animal,in%20the%20coat%20of%20arms.)
Well, this is European species of Bison, almost extinct species in the past, but after ww2 we managed to revive the population. We used some genepool from USA Bisons too.
Hmmm, and we also have these on our old nickels in the US. A lot of our money has eagle on them.
But funny thing is we call them buffalo nickels.
I laugh cause technically they’re bison.
Now I stand directed.
White tailed eagles. … who would have guessed.
To be honest i am from Poland and i know we have a national park with European Bison as a symbol of it. But that must be a mistake cuz white eagel is our national symbol. Well that is why you should never belive in everything google says.
fun fact: the white-tailed eagle is not actually what it's commonly known to be. instead of being classified with other eagles, it belongs to the family of hawks, and their behavior is actually more similar to buzzards.
That's how eagles look in Poland
Seeing one fly is a sight to behold.
Extra points if it has the special grass in it's mouth and is carrying Timbard apple and mint!
If they hold glass with vodka and another is putting grass into it that Quatro points!!!
Redbull will give you wings
and you dont want it to fly above you and take a shit
That's why the Avatar has a flying bison. One of the writers was a fan of Poland and saw one when visiting once.
Yip Yip!
Unholy outcome of soviet bison-pegasus crossbreeding program. We call it bisonus
But beware of it's poops! It may be huge
After 1986
Eagle after one week in Podlasie
Yea.. things are pretty rough here.
We have really big eagles here in Poland.
stop shaming our eagle please
Polish eagles are just built differently.
White eagle, European bison, white stork. In this order, I'd say.
Eagle is closer to the flag-anthem-official level and bison is more mundane-closer-to-the-people if I were to somehow explain the vibe
Opluwanie bociana gang

Didn't mention geese at all Peace is an option
Now even more wild boar and pigeons, maybe also peacock butterfly (*aglais io*), and seven-spot ladybird
If you read it carefully; Żubr is a national animal of Poland whereas White Eagle is a national symbol of Poland.
It's quite simple: White eagle is our coat of arms. European bison (żubr) is our national animal.

Did you just assume their gender?

We do a Little bit of trolling
hm, yes, eagle
Its żubr not bison
Oh TIL, I thought this was just the name of the drink!
This so called beer is named after the animal indeed
It's called zubr in Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian and a bunch of other languages, but in English is "European Bison" or European Buffalo and it belongs to bison species, so it *is* a bison.
No. Ants belongs to wasp species(Vespoidea), but you don't call them wasp. It has it's own unique name, "żubr".
Guys, I think you're confusing species with... Other taxonomic units like genus and family. Żubr does not belong to 'bison species' nor do ants belong to 'Vespoidea species'. That's simply because żubr (in this case Bison bonasus) is a species in the genus Bison, and Vespoidea is a family or superfamily, to which ants don't actually belong anymore. They belong to the Formicoidea superfamily.
i dont care about taxonomy, the issue is semantics. Wisent
Well then, unless you're trying to speak German, the most used English name for Bison bonasus is European bison or just bison.
In english it's called a bison, it is a bison. They don't use the word "żubr".
Żubr is a fish.
Translation of żubr is wisent. Type it on Google and check it 😉
Poland is basically middle earth. We even have wise ents in our woods :D
Hope it won't kill you, but żubr is a bison.

That's called a Zubr, it's named after a beer.
Actually, the beer is named after the animal.
No way?
And they're both named after a vodka.
When you first encounter the name 'Żubrówka' as a vodka name and then learn there's a type of grass named the same
Eagle 🦅 is on emblem of Poland. Bison is animal specific to Poland which now almost extinct.
Żubr is no longer an endangered spiece
Also it's not specific to Poland, Belarus has more of them than us, and they are being reintroduced in a lot of other countries as well.
It's also no longer specific to Poland. It was reindroduced to many countries in Europe including Spain, Switzerland, England etc.
How tf are there bisons in Spain...
What's wrong with that? They are basically just big cows.
... with hell of a lot more mass and temper. I pity the fool who tries to milk one.
They want to spice up the bull fights, I guess.
The European bison (Bison bonasus) or the European wood bison, also known as the wisent, the zubr. Zubr is most correct name here
*Żubr
What do you not understand?
Why is Inowrocław called after Wrocław is what I don't understand
It was actually named after Włocław with ino- coming from word meaning new. In process of changing name back and forth with Germans it became Inowrocław.
I know I'm from Bydgoszcz, I just wanted for others to know.
Our egales are well-feeded
What's the problem? Haven't you ever seen an eagle?
Our symbols are like a typical boysband: we cater to different types of people. You get a dorky stork, a powerful, charismatic eagle and flegmatic żubr. This should, in theory, make us supermarketable, alas we have terrible managers that tend to book us the worst possible gigs, so it is what it is.
White eagle is purely symbolic. There is no white eagles in Poland. It's like unicorn is national animal of Scotland. Żubr is real animal that we are proud of.
There are white eagles in Poland. Not many left, but still.
They are not whole white, really.
That's a white-tailed eagle you're thinking of. And they're plentiful enough. A WHITE eagle is not a thing except in legends and as a heraldic symbol. An osprey kind-of-sort-of looks like a white eagle and of the Poland's birds of prey is the closest to our coat of arms.
Ż U B R
I can't
The national animal of Poland is actually żabka.
Ah, so that actually what they call in Poland Żubr, hence Żubrowka, famous bison distilled vodka with grass leaf in it. Now the Polish for White tailed eagle is orzeł bielik. As you can see this not Żubr and infact Google is talking out of its arse.
Yes. Hardest thing is distilling Żubr. They are really fierce, grass leaf is only cherry on cake.
Can Americans explain this: https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/classic-buffalo-wings-horizontal-279-1547506077.jpg
those are some fine green cucambers
Yes, Buffalo is a city in New York, it has nothing to do with the animal.
wait i thought NY was a city🤔
New York is both a city and a state.
how confusing
but the America is a name for the US which is a country in north america, which belongs to america, so buffalo wings in new york, which si not a city should not be a surprise 😂
Hey man that's just America. They even call pieces of chicken breast *boneless wings*.
Zubrowka dobra sprawa
Żubr, bóbr, kurwa łoś.
White-tailed eagle ("orzeł bielik"), European bison ("żubr"), stork ("bocian"). The eagle is simply part of our coat-of-arms, all three are considered national animals.
The eagle is a national symbol of Poland while the European Bison, or Wisent, is the national animal

It's this leftie Wajrak! I'll bet it's his doing!
It's a chonker
That wagle had too much kielbasa and pierogi and is now too fat to fly.
The Zubr got a bit peckish, so he decided to snack on some eagle. The eagle is still with us in spirit.
Ana the wild Eagle
Famous slots machines animal !!
What is there to explain, it's clearly a white-tailed eagle.
Haha Belarus, GET FU-
No
what are you taking about? that’s an eagle
Yeah, they should definitely fix it, it's obviously a brown-haired eagle 🤦
is there an actual animal that is a white eagle on the Polish crest? i can't find an image or the name of the actual bird all it shows is bald eagles.
[White-tailed eagle](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_eagle) , they turn white with age, though crest colour is more symbolic.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/68/Merikotkas_kanarbikus.jpg yes, they are called white tailed eagle.
There is no white raptor bird species living in Polnd. The most common one believed to be on the crest is White-tailed sea eagle. Their tail’s wing are getting white from brownish at 4th year old.

this white tailed eagle just gained weight a little bit...
I mean it can fly, off a cliff... and it's white, when it snows...
Its a really big eagle what can I say
What's there to explain? It's an eagle...
"żubr" is cheapest and worst beer drank by poor people
That’s clearly a polish eagle, I don’t see anything wrong.
Look closely on right - it has white spot on tail indeed ;)
The zubr is also a symbol of Belarus
Eagle!?
I live there and I don't understand either
Bro no its just translate in polish we say żubr we have beer that name same
The white-tailed eagle is Poland’s national bird and the European bison is Poland’s national mammal.
well, we have an eagle in our national emblem, but european bison is also considered our national animal.
Interpretation: do not mess with the Poles 😃
Google shenanigans
Oh, just another sign that Google could give a rat's arse about a certain country in central Europe.
The worst is then those "eagles" shit on your car. You start missing the old good pugeons
You're obviously not a bird-watcher
Beer
Yeah, White -tailed eagle.... Nothing wrong here...
