It's interesting to see how this strategy changes depending on the species.

Some birds will fake being injured to lure predators away from their chicks, and others will attack anything coming too close.

I ran into a litter of wild turkey chicks a few months ago and it was such a contrast to how little ducklings group together and line up to follow mom. The turkey chicks scatter every which way instead.

I feel like it'd take more than two wolves to down a bison. He'd probably just stomp the shit out of them and continue grazing if they're the only ones showing up.
