the American Bison is referred to as both (unless you are referring to a water buffalo, then yes, it is a bison and not a buffalo)
you can thank early european settlers for the confusion. the only thing they could compare the bison to at the time was a buffalo. Which is why they are still called that by most people
thus concludes our history lesson
either way. funny watching that! lol
Why would a person walk up to and confront a half-ton chunk of angry meat with sharp horns? Not exactly the shiniest brick in the toolbox, are we?

Actually, the only other member of the genus Bison is from Europe. It's called the Wisent or European Bison.
