Because people killed them. Buffalo died out because the settlers came and went into their habitats. The settlers killed the buffalo for meat, bones, skin. The buffalo didn't die out only because the setlers killed them but, also because their own animals carried very bad diseases that were fatal to the buffalo. Thankfully, they didn't quite die out, and their numbers are increasing.They were delibrately slaughtered to deprive the native Americans of food. Most were left to rot. It's a sad and ugly part of America's history.
