I wonder if they can breed a strain of scientist that calls the bloody things "buffalo."

The word "bison" just makes me want to give somebody a wedgie.

Bison is a more accurate term than "buffalo" as Buffalo are really an old world wild ox - like Cape Buffalo in Africa or Water Buffalo in Asia.

When I saw the title I thought they had identified a remnant population of Woods Bison. I think there were two groups of these - one found in northern Canada and another - presumably extinct which was found as far east as the Delaware River Valley, upstate New York and the southern Appalachians
