bison
The term refers to the massive bovids of North America and Europe. While often colloquially called buffalo, "bison" is the scientifically accurate term for these specific species, whereas "buffalo" typically refers to the water buffalo of Asia and Africa.
Grammatically, this noun is an invariant plural. The singular and plural forms are identical, meaning you do not add an "s" to indicate multiple animals. One says "one bison" and "ten bison," though "bisons" is occasionally seen in older texts, it is generally avoided in modern standard English.
