Healthy bull bison have generally no.natural enemies except for the Californian grizzly which is now extinct. That's right. However, there were very few, or even extinct, bison in California when the California grizzly was there. Looks like they didn't interact.

Is that an old bison? NGO said unlike young bison, old bison are usually left to fend for themselves. Well we dont know the age, but males live alone or in small herds of males. Anyhow, it was most likely a sick or injured bison:
“Wolves seek out the vulnerable, this is what they do and they are very adept at doing so,” Thompson said.

An NGO series also said that predators (mainly referring to spotted hyenas) can sense if an animal is sick or injured and that animal can actually look healthy to us.
I forgot the topic but it is centred on the spotted hyenas.
