Because there is more vegetation and more forage biomass per acre or hectare in a grassland than what a forest can offer. Most of the forest's vegetation is 20 to 100 feet above the ground, which is impossible for most herbivores to reach. Plus, trees take a lot of nutrients from the ground and keep the sunlight from hitting the forest floor, "robbing" other plants to sustain themselves like grasses do in a grassland biome.
