MOCK FIGHTING
Two young bulls go head to head,
To practice sparring.
BECAUSE YOU ASKED: Buffalo or Bison?
In the 1,600’s, French fur trappers referred to the shaggy beasts as “BUFFALO”.
A hundred years later, fearing there would be confusion with the Cape Buffalo in Africa, the name was changed to ”BISON”.
Of course, the “People” weren’t on board with the change. So the names became interchangeable.
I prefer Buffalo, because of its Wild West connections. Plus, I collect Buffalo nickels, and Bison nickels just doesn’t ring true.
THANKS FOR SHARING MY JOURNEY THROUGH CUSTER
I’ve enjoyed your comments, and reactions.
I’ve fallen behind since my 3:45 AM day, and I’ll be working to catch up over the next few days.
