Aren't they the same thing?I always thought Buffalo was the common term and Bison was the educated peoples term.

My understanding isif you see two bison together, they're buffaloes, whereas if you see a buffalo on its own it's a bison.

American Buffalo are Bison"American Buffalo" are actually Bison. Buffalo are from Africa and Asia.
But what is a name? Easier to just rename it to "Dinner plus fur coat" (unless you are vegetarian... but then you would be odd as you'd have more in common with a Bison...)
