When humans originally started moving West, they considered the buffalo population so limitless and worthless that settlers often shot buffalo out the windows of train cars simply to pass the time. This wasteful overhunting of the buffalo population almost lead to the species' extinction.
The largest number of buffalo were killed to feed the workers building the Transcontinental Railroad. That is where Buffalo Bill got his name.
