English term or phrase: bison V.S buffalo
A range owner says:

"Bison and buffalo are just different names of the same creature"

I was about to translate "bison" as "ثور" and buffalo as "جاموس وحشي" Then I thought how ثور and جاموس be the same creature!

Any suggestions for how they coud be Arabic translated?

Thanks.
