Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
According to the National Park Sevice, "In North America, both 'bison' and 'buffalo' refer to the American bison (Bison bison). Generally, 'buffalo' is used informally; 'bison' is preferred for more formal or scientific purposes. Historians believe that the term 'buffalo' grew from the French word for beef, 'boeuf.' Some people insist that the term 'buffalo' is incorrect because the 'true' buffalo exist on other continents and are only distant relatives."
"Wind Cave National Park protects two very different worlds - one deep within the earth, the other a sunlit world of many resources. Bison, elk, and other wildlife roam the rolling prairie grasslands and forested hillsides of one of America's oldest national parks. Below the remnant island of intact prairie sits Wind Cave, one of the longest and most complex caves in the world."
