Contrary to popular opinion, large herds of buffalo never roamed North America in the early days of the nation.
The animals mistakenly called buffaloes in America were technically bison. The true buffalo - a native of only Africa and Asia - has long horns.
The American bison, which many people called a buffalo, has shorter horns and a more pointed back.

results in the white buffalo,
where the calf turns entirely white.
White buffalo are considered sacred by many Native Americans.
