When the first Europeans journeyed west in North America, there were tens of millions of bison on the continent. But by 1900, due to widespread hunting for meat, skins and sport, only 1 000 or so remained. Today, mainly due to conservation efforts, those numbers have climbed again to about 60 000.
One of the best places to see wild bison is the Yellowstone National Park, which falls mostly in the north-western state of Wyoming, USA.
