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.

Buffalos have not completely died out. However, their populations have declined due to factors like habitat loss, hunting, and disease. Conservation efforts are in place to protect and restore buffalo populations.
