Better Plains atmosphere(Great Plains)

Living within the great Plains region of the USA I always looked at Minecraft's Plains biome as, well, plain. I think it would be well worth it, especially with the new Wild Update to update the Plains biome with inspiration from the North American Great Plains.

A new neutral mob, the bison, could be added. They could be in massive(as much as performance allows) herds. This could be a great way to bring awareness to Bison, much like the Panda. A cool feature could be added to make the bison not a reskin of the cow, perhaps they could be used to defend areas from zombies? Just don't get too close of course.

Prairie dogs could also be added as a cute little creature who, if followed, can lead the player to their secret staches of goodies. They won't be too pleased if you steal from them though.

Another addition could be wild flower bushes. These would be bunches of wild flowers, about 1.5 blocks tall.

Boulders and large rocks of the new and old stone types could be added as well, much like the tall taiga. These rocks could be more common around mountains, or sharp terrain.

Around water in these areas tall grass and cat tails could generate, much like real life. With the new frog mob and fireflies residing in these pools.

    Also add armadillos and eagles please. The armadillos eat frogs and follow bison sometimes (not hurting them) and the eagles can hunt the prairie dogs. Also, soddies (the houses made by western settlers) might be cool little structures as well.

    Bison, as much as I like them, might be problematic as they’re an obvious meat and leather source, and being endangered that might be sending the wrong idea, giving players the potential to wipe out massive herds (getting flashbacks of the huge bison skull pile). Of course you can kill pandas as well, but the player gains almost nothing from it, so it isn’t encouraged. And prairie dogs might be too close to the Meerkats, both burrowing rodents. I agree though, plains are awfully lacking atm. I do like the wildflower idea, or plants like yucca or big bur oak trees. Cattails should be true for most biomes I think, especially swamps. Same goes for frogs and fireflies
