Like Kansas, Wyoming chose the bison as the state mammal in 1985. Which of the following is NOT true about this iconic hooved animal?

While bison are sometimes called buffalo, they are not closely related to the true buffalos of Africa and Asia. They're both bovines, but don't share much in common. According to the National Park Service, the name "buffalo" stemmed from the French word boeuf, meaning beef.
