Buffalos were originally cattle then they bred them with oxen which was know as bison and as the bison bred the cattle in them got smaller and smaller and now are called buffalos but Americans call the there proper name bison....
Well, technically, they are supposed to be called bison because buffalos (cape and water) live in Africa and Asia.
Cows and buffalos may have split from the same ancestor in the last 200,000 years. American Buffalos and cows can interbreed and have fertile children which shows a close relationship. Cows have a closer relationship with American Buffalos than with any other animal and the reverse is also true.
No, they are similar but the adult American Bison is usually a bit larger and also less aggressive than the African Buffalo.
Bison are still alive they are the same animal as the American Buffalo.
Water buffalos don't resemble the American bison at all; they're about as alike as a sheep and a cow. Well, perhaps a little more alike, but not so you'd confuse them. Bison were called buffalo because of a perceived resemblance to the Asian water buffalo, which just goes to show people don't use their powers of observation.
there are also buffalos in us too and these are called American bison
