The correct terminology is “BISON”.  Bison are members of the bovine group “BUFFALO”.  Bison are native to North and South America. Buffalo are native to Africa and Asia ( ie: Water Buffalo, etc).

I was in a place where the TV was playing "Highway Through Hell" a few days ago. They were towing and removing vehicles and big loads on the Alaskan Highway. When they drove by a herd of what my first instinct would be to call "Buffalo, the Canadian accented truckers called them "Bison".

The show had some WW2 shots of tracked tractors pulling pan scrapers in the building of the highway.
