Uh, what?

This is one of those Did You Know things, but I can't figure out what it means... a typo?

I think it could be true... Animals are -really- heavy.... 250 kilo's sounds quite possible for a wisent, to me.

Edit: My bad, Wisent is indeed the English spelling, Visent is Swedish. :)

My character tamed one once, and 8 people couldn't even come close to budging it, let alone dragging it. She had to abandon it. :evil:

There is a separate animal called buffalo in the game.

Wisent are European bison. Not quite the same as buffalo, or American bison... but fairly similar.

I looked it up... Wikipedia says the average wisent is 630kg. So, really, what we have is unreasonably light stone buildings!
