I Was Wrong About Buffalo
Ғылым және технология
The animal that we all think is a buffalo is actual a bison. Most people refer to them as buffalo, but the more correct name is American Bison. There are many other difference, but let's start the buffalo vs bison explanation by getting the names right.

Also a cow isnt called a cow, they are cattle. A cow is a female cattle thats given birth. Heifer, female without calf. Steer, castrated male. Bull, non-castrated mature male. A cow is just any female bovid thats had a baby. Theres also over 1000 breeds of domestic cattle and over 140 species in the bovid family. The closest thing related to cattle, bison, and buffalo are caprines and antelopes. Also a longhorn is a breed of cattle, not a different animal.
