Before the Bison were mass-hunted by settlers, there were upwards of 30 million bison roaming the plains. They grazed in large herds that sometimes went on for miles upon miles. [http://www.defenders.org/wildlife_and_habitat/wildlife/bison.php] Bison mainly eat different types of grasses. They would roam all over North America, in an unpredictable movement. This caused either starvation via famine, or an abundance of food for the other animals. Their herds provided protection from predators like the wolf, bear, of even Indian tribe.
