That would depend on which type of buffalo you are referring to. There are American Buffalo, Wisent (aka Eurasian Buffalo), Water Buffalo, etc.
There are five types of bison alive today: Plains bison, Woods bison (all sub-species of the American Bison), Wisent (European bison), Cape Buffalo, and the Asian Water Buffalo (tame/domesticated ones are commonly referred to as Carabao). Plains and Woods bison are found in the United States and Canada. Wisents are found in Europe. Cape buffalo are found in Africa, and Water buffalo are found in Asia.
