"Buffalo" is the popular name often used to describe North American bison; however, this is a misnomer. In fact, buffalo are distinctly different animals from bison. Although both bison and buffalo belong to the same family, Bovidae, true "buffalo" are native only to Africa and Asia. 4, record 2, English, - American%20bison
