    This is a buffalo:

    They are not the same animal as American bison, which are also not European bison for that matter.

      Isn’t that a water buffalo? Not the same animal as the American Bison (commonly known as the American Buffalo.) I think once they have a 200 year old city named for them, you just have to accept that that’s what they’re called.

        Isn’t that a water buffalo?

        or as you woul call it a water bison…

        Also the city was not on land, which had American bison, so no it is not named after the animal.
