Bison were the main source of food for the American "Indians" of the Great Plains, and were hunted by white men almost to extinction in the 19th century, with only 750 remaining around 1890. The Bronx Zoo, in the United States , maintained one of the surviving herds, from which the population was restored in Yellowstone National Park and other natural reserves.
The current population of American bison is approximately 350,000, compared to an estimated population of 60-100 million before Columbus arrived in the Americas.
Upon the arrival of the Spanish in America, such was the number of bison or cibolos that the conquistadors found in the great North American prairies, that they called the vast region "the plains of cibolo."
Today, more than 250,000 of the remaining 350,000 bison are raised for human consumption.
The sunflower is native to America, and was cultivated around 1000 BC, from there, the Spanish exported it to Europe at the beginning of the 16th century.
The growing areas of the State are full of this flower with which they obtain significant income thanks to the production of oil.
