Many animals eat grass as a large portion of their diets, although the percentage of grass eaten can vary according to season. Cattle eat more grass in fall and winter than they consume in spring, according to Texas A&M University. On the other hand, herbivores such as bison eat about the same amount of grass year-round. Bison About 93 percent of the bison’s diet is grass, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department website. A typical day for bison includes periods of both grazing and resting. These animals graze on grass after dawn, going out in groups of three to four. After filling up their stomachs, they rest. Bison eat about 1.6 percent of their total body mass each day
