Animals in herds are there because through evolving they have found to stay as a group provides protection for individual animals. Predators will look for the weakest animal in a herd, but when there are many animals the weaker animals have a better chance to survive. When there is an attack from a predator individual animals will fight off the predator to save the weaker animal in the herd.
