And did bisons actually live in Europe in real life (I don't think an American animal should be added to Middle-Earth since it is based on Europe).

Yes, they were bisons in Europe, although it was a different species, smaller than the american one.

And also, some american species are already in Tolkien's Middle-Earth, like potatoes, corn or tomatoes which were only discovered by Europeans when they came to America. True, but lets not get too carried away with American animals here. Moose is acceptable since they are in both continents but are named differently, but having mountain lions would be too out of place.
