The famous bison near the M1 highway in the Brest region has transformed from a simple roadside monument into a modern tourist attraction. After a large-scale modernization, the sculpture gained interactive effects and even its own website.

The renovation began several years ago. In 2022, it was decided not just to repair the monument, but to make it more realistic. The bison was given detailed fur, voluminous facial features, and a special "living gaze" effect. Now its eyes can blink.
The area around the sculpture was tidied up, a parking lot was created, and a composition with the inscription "Brest Region" was installed. Thanks to this, the spot has become a popular point for photos and stops during travels.
As of June 19, 2026, the bison has acquired another unusual feature — it has started to "breathe". A special system was installed inside the sculpture, releasing a cloud of steam from its nostrils, simulating the animal's breath. The height of such an "exhale" reaches approximately 5.5 meters.
For tourists, a special online service has been created where one can see a timer until the next "inhale" and plan their visit in advance to observe this spectacle. Interestingly, the service operates in four languages — in addition to the predicted Belarusian, Russian, and English, there is also Chinese.
In the future, the organizers also plan to choose an official name for the bison.
Who are the two characters who didn't drink in interwar Vilnius, how Zoska Veras was awakened from lethargy, and is the story about Karatkevich and the restaurant true?

Последний вольноживущий беловежский зубр был застрелен в феврале 1921 года бывшим лесничим Варфоломеем (Бартоломеусом) Шпаковичем. Это произошло в эпоху послевоенной разрухи, когда территория потеряла свой охранный статус, а уникальный лес перешел под вырубку. Сам российский царь в этот момент уже отрекся от престола.
Царские охоты: В Российской империи Беловежская пуща была излюбленным местом императорских охот. Александр II и Николай II лично добывали здесь сотни животных, а зубры были главным трофеем.
Годы истребления: После Первой мировой войны популяция, насчитывавшая около 700 особей, была полностью уничтожена голодающими солдатами и браконьерами. Убийство Шпаковичем в 1921 году поставило точку в истории дикой популяции. (ИИ)
Шпаковіч.. якая беларуская фамілія
неўзабаве мясцовыя расцягнуць яго на металалом, як расцягвалі ў свой час сядзібы магнатаў і касцёлы дамоў сабе на сарай па кірпічыку
