Looking up about it I was somewhat amused to see its scientific name is Bison Bison
and some info about them
The American bison, commonly known as the American buffalo, or simply buffalo (not to be confused with true buffalo), is a species of bison that is endemic (or native) to North America. Its historical range circa 9000 BC is referred to as the great bison belt, a tract of rich grassland spanning from Alaska south to the Gulf of Mexico, and east to the Atlantic Seaboard (nearly to the Atlantic tidewater in some areas), as far north as New York, south to Georgia, and according to some sources, further south to northern Florida, with sightings in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1750
They live for 15-20 years and sadly and classifies as Near Threatened ie they may be considered threatened with extinction in the near future
Next up is a white tailed deer
They also live for around 15 to 20 years and are found in Southern Canada through most of the U.S. and Mexico to northern South America (Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia, northern Brazil, Venezuela, and the Guianas). They are absent from much of southwestern United States.
