Read the passage. Then answer the question below.
a herd of American bison on a prairie
American bison roam in herds across the prairie grasslands in Montana. They are the only species of bison in North America. These large herbivores feed on the dozens of species of grasses that grow on the prairie, such as Idaho fescue and rough fescue.
American bison are large enough that they are difficult for predators to capture. Instead of running away when attacked, they fight back as a group. Still, they are sometimes hunted by wolves, mountain lions, and grizzly bears.
