Buffalo were once the dominant species on Earth, but when their Herd-Leader was trapped in ice they degenerated without his mind. The [[Bovine Herd Leader]] revived thousands of years later and was able to travel back in time. He found his species were being wiped out by the [[Native American]]s and guided [[Christopher Columbus]] to [[America]] in [[1492]], hoping the [[Europe]]ans would wipe out the Native Americans and save his herd. However, the Europeans wiped out the buffalo themselves. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Trouble in Paradise (audio story)}}) | |||
