Bison

MrOwl Community

Bison are plains-dwelling hoofed mammals of the family Bovidae. There are only two species left in existence: the American bison (sometimes mistakenly called "buffalo") and the European bison.

Bison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bison or buffalo are large, even-toed ungulates in the genus Bison within the subfamily Bovinae. Two extant and four extinct species are recognized. Of the four extinct species, three were North American: Bison antiquus, B. latifrons, and B. occidentalis. The fourth, B. priscus, ranged across steppe environments from Western Europe, through Central Asia, and onto North America.

On a recent trip out west, I visited Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, where I saw plenty of bison dotting the plains. Or were they buffalo? Is there a difference between the two?
