To me, they will always be buffalo. Excellent captures.
(I suppose we can call them Bisonuffalo, covers both bases,
sounds like a Sesame Street character also.

That unfortunate animal is still called a buffalo because of the ignorance of the early settlers.
Great pictures, though.

Blame it on the Frenchies!

My wife thinks that I am a contrarian for not calling the American Buffalo by the new name Bison. I have told her that I never heard of Bison Bill, a Bison Soldier, Bison, New York, a Bison nickel and I am still waiting for that ever popular song with the line "where the Bison roam." To show her how flexible I am, I have agreed to refer to the American Buffalo as Bison when the U.S. mints begin to issue Bison Nickels.
I hope you enjoy these and thanks for looking.

Well Dan, your wife is right! Not sure why people ... (show quote)
My wife is always right; however I have tried to explain to her that the American in American Buffalo distinguishes them from the true buffalo of the Old World. She is not convinced but thanks for the information.

Good morning "JC",
You are absolutely correct! I really can't explain it but as I age (72) I become more and more of a diehard Grammarian / Etymologist. Just can't help it.
All the best JC,
Terry
