Are Bison and Buffalo the same?

Well, when settlers first visited the new world and witnessed bison, they thought they looked like the Cape buffalo and water buffalo from other parts of the world, so they called them buffalo, and this misnomer continues to this today.

 

· Bison and buffalo are often confused, especially in North America.

· A key difference between bison and buffalo is the shoulder shape and horn length.

· While Buffalo are found in Asia and Africa, Bison live in North America.

 

However, Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) and Bison (Bison bison) are two entirely different animal species. They are both members of the cow family. What is the real difference between bison and buffalo?, To begin with, bison have larger heads and shoulders, paired with much shorter horns, while buffalo have more proportionate head and shoulders, and much larger, more curved horns.

 

And then there is the “Bison Tube”!

A whole another story!

So what's the reason behind the name?

These containers were named after the original manufacturer.

It was on BugRanger’s side so she spotted it first. Amazing how well it blends in. It’s always nice to have a new cache to find in familiar territory; thanks for it!

Found it. Boy does that one blend in! I was looking straight at it and didn't see it until I went around to the other side and back again. I wasn't sure I was going to find at for a while there, but luckily I finally did. Signed the log and replaced the cache. Thanks Joe Friday for the cache.

I met up with my parents and grandfather at a Culver's for lunch. After they parted ways to head to the Denver Airport, I decided to kill some time by grabbing a few caches in Loveland.

This one took a minute or two to find, but after searching in the correct angle I successfully made the find. TFTC

Had to go to Target so swung by and grabbed the find during a gentle rain. The rain made container harder to see. Thank you for the new cache Joe Friday in my neighborhood.

It’s a wonder how the owner comes up with such items for the container. Enjoyed. To be in the group to be FTF during the rain ??"
