buffalo herd
Plains grazing mass
A buffalo herd is a group of buffalo traveling or grazing together.
In North America, this typically means bison, which once roamed the Great Plains in herds numbering in the millions before near-extermination in the 19th century.
Buffalo are social animals, and herds provide protection from predators: We watched a buffalo herd cross the river.
