Herds offer protection. This is important mainly for herbivores, who live in open areas with no cover from predators. Many animals like antelopes, zebras, wild horses, and bison live together in herds. Some animals guard the herd and keep a watch for the predators like lions or wolves while the others can graze peacefully. The predators do not dare to attack the whole group so they try to separate a weak or sick animal from the herd and attack it individually.
