Bison are the largest land mammal in North America. There are two subspecies of American bison, the plains and woods bison, though the plains bison is more numerous and well-known. The European bison, a separate species, is similar, but has longer legs and a less hairy body.

Bison are also popularly known as buffalo, though they are not closely related to the buffaloes of Asia and Africa. There are two types of currently living bison: the American bison and the European bison (or wisent). The bison is the largest mammal on the North American continent.
