Best Answer

Most American buffalo are not black, but have dark brown coarse fur on their heads, necks and shoulders and lighter short fur on the back, belly and hind legs. Some are yellowish, some reddish and some, very rarely, are almost white. Most animals are an orange-brown colour when young, turning darker brown as they get older.

Horns and hoofs are generally black.

White buffalo have always been considered sacred by the Plains tribes - a tradition that still continues today.
