The American bison (Bison bison), commonly kent as the American buffalo or simply buffalo an aw, is a North American species o bison that ance roamit the grasslands o North America in massive herds. Thay became nearly extinct bi a combination o commercial huntin an slauchter in the 19t century an introduction o bovine diseases frae domestic cattle, an hae made a recent resurgence lairgely restrictit tae a few naitional pairks an reserves. Thair historical range roughly comprisit a triangle atween the Great Bear Lake in Canadae's far northwast, sooth tae the Mexican states of Durango an Nuevo León, an east tae the Atlantic Seaboard o the Unitit States (nearly tae the Atlantic tidewatter in some auries) frae New York tae Georgie an per some soorces doun tae Florida. Bison wur seen in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1750.[2][3][4]
