The bison is a majestic animal belonging to the cattle family (Bovidae) and is found primarily in North America and Europe.

There are two main species:

American bison (Bison bison) 
European bison (Bison bonasus)

The American bison is one of the largest land mammals in North America and can weigh up to 1000 kg. It has a distinctive, massive shoulder, giving it a striking appearance. This species played a central role in the culture of the indigenous peoples of North America, both as a food source and in spiritual practices. In the 19th century, the population was severely decimated by overhunting and habitat changes, but through conservation measures and reintroduction programs, the bison population has recovered in recent decades.

The zebra meat comes from plains zebras (Equus quagga) living in controlled game reserves in South Africa. These reserves provide the animals with ample natural habitat and species-appropriate conditions – no factory farming. Zebras are considered wild animals, but are deliberately kept in sustainably managed protected areas under wildlife standards and hunted under controlled conditions.

Natural rearing: The animals grow up in their natural habitat without the use of hormones or artificial feed. They feed on what the African savannah provides – primarily grasses and herbs. This makes the meat particularly pure, low in fat, and unique in its flavor.

Sustainability and ethics: Hunting and processing are strictly controlled by government-licensed programs in South Africa.
