C
Squirrel
D
Bison
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For thousands of years, Native Americans relied heavily on bison for their survival and well-being, using every part of the bison for food, clothing, shelter, tools, jewelry and in ceremonies. The decimation of millions of bison in the 1800s was pivotal in the tragic devastation of Indian people and society.

Detailed explanation-2: -The only real predators of the American bison in the wild, besides humans, are wolves and bears, but both species will typically prey on the calves versus the much stronger and larger adult animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bison eat grass and plants during the summer, and hay and sometimes grain during the winter months when grass is scarce. Bison do well on the perennial grasses which grow in the agricultural regions of Canada, so specialty blends of grasses are not needed on their pastures.
