Where do the buffalo roam?

Growing up, I would exclaim "Look a buffalo!", just to be corrected... "That's a bison. Buffalo live on the other side of the world."  So here I am, on the other side of the world, and I exclaimed "Look a water buffalo", just to be corrected... "That a bison!"  What's up with that?  Where do the buffalo roam?  Are they like unicorns, just mythical creatures?

Gaur are called "Indian Bison". Buffalos are the skinny ones with the long horns that look suspiciously like... cows. Who knew?
