Bison is a taxonomic group containing six species of large even-toed ungulates within the subfamily Bovinae. Two of these species still exist: the American plains bison (B. bison bison), and the American wood bison (B. bison athabascae) are subspecies found in North America and the European bison, or wisent (B. bonasus), found in Europe and the Caucasus.

Is a water buffalo different from a buffalo?

No, they are two separate species: Cape Buffalo are from Africa and possess the scientific name Syncerus caffer and Water Buffalo are from Asia, with the scientific name Bubalus bubalis. Cape Buffalo are also larger and more muscular than water buffalo, and look quite different from Water Buffalo. For instance: A cape buffalo's horns come together at the poll and curve out and up on either side of their heads. A water buffalo's horns grow more to the back of the animal. The Cape Buffalo can also bellow like domestic cattle, along with a series of other vocalizations. Water buffalo only make grunting sounds.Please see the related links below for more information.
