the game calls bison buffalo , but that is incorrect as buffalo are found in asia and bison are found in north america. you would think developers would know more about animals. also i know of many actual native americans that make the same mistake 

isnt bison in french? also their are many species of buffalos. 

0_0 good catch

They are commonly called American buffalo, so it's not really a mistake. The misnomer has taken hold. Deal with it!

like American Football :P It has Football in it but it's not Football....but yea I see what ya mean

they are not related to buffalo at all

yeah.. they are commonly called buffulo.... just the way it is.

Doesn't matter.  People call bison buffalo all the time so it's an accepted term even though it's technically incorrect.  I have a pack of buffalo burgers from North Dakota in my freezer.  The package says buffalo.  So it's not really a mistake because people in the USA use it both ways and it's an accepted term.

As an american I have always called them buffalo. I've heard bison before but never knew they were the same beast. Buffalo is what they should have used as that is what most americans call them.

they aren't the same beast. the term is used interchangeably but its like calling a cuban mexican
