I guess the real mistake in the game is that there actually are buffalos/bisons.

Red dead redemption is set in the year 1911, and at that time there was pretty much not a single bison left in the USA. Within just a few decades in the 19th century, dozens of million bisons were killed, and by 1902 there were only 23 left in whole north America. A guy called George Bird Grinnell saved the species by taking them to a safe area - if it hadn't been for this guy, the bison would have been distinct by 1911.

Those are all bison heads:

That's why there are only 20 buffalos/bisons in the game and you get an achievement/trophy for killing all of them.

Is this true or you're kidding?

Kill the last buffalo in the Great Plains in Single Player.
This can only be completed in the Great Plains. You will first need to finish Act 2 to gain access to this area. Make your way to the Great Plains and ride around until you find the Buffalo. They are normally roaming around in the open. To unlock the achievement you need to kill all 20 of the herd. Make sure that you pick off the buffalo from a distance, if they run off don't chase them. Save often and come back to this area every once in a while to kill the odd buffalo you see. Once you kill the last buffalo the achievement will unlock. Attempting this early on with a less powerful gun can take a while. If you have a sniper rifle use that instead it's a one shot kill on any buffalo.
