Bison Facts
Bison is a taxonomic genus containing six species of large even-toed ungulates within the subfamily Bovinae. Only two of these species still exist: the American Bison, which is the species commonly referred to as "buffalo" in American Western culture, and the European Bison, or Wisent. Gaur, a large, thick-coated ox found in Asia, is also known as the Indian Bison. Although common, it is technically incorrect to refer to bison as "buffalo," as true buffalo are native only to Asia (see Water Buffalo) and Africa (see African Buffalo).
The American and European Bison are the largest terrestrial mammals in North America and Europe. Like their cattle relatives, Bison are nomadic grazers and travel in herds. Both species were hunted close to extinction during the 19th and 20th centuries but have since rebounded, although the European Bison is still endangered.
