For me American Bison live in a cold places not in the places that is too much cold like Alaska, because of the thick layer of skin of the bison they can survive in a cold placesthey can also live in...
they live in plains, prairies, and river valleys.
Yes, they are one and the same, just called by different names. The more correct name is Bison, though, not Buffalo.
