Bison, or Buffalo?

Scientifically, the proper, Latin name is "Bison", or actually, "Bison Bison." In the seventeenth century, French explorers in North America referred to the new species they encountered as "les boeufs," meaning oxen or beeves. The English, arriving later, changed the pronunciation to "la buff." The name grew distorted as "buffle," "buffler," "buffillo," and, eventually, "buffalo." (The American Buffalo in Transition, by J. Albert Rorabacher.)
