West: 1848. The North American bison ( Bison americanus). According to Watts, Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca was the first to apply erroneously the Spanish term búfalo to the American bison because it was similar in appearance to the Indian or African wild ox or buffalo. The buffalo played an important role in the exploration and settlement of the Old West. According to Josiah Gregg ( Commerce of the Prairies), it was a primary source of meat for early expeditions. It was also widely hunted by Indians for its meat and hide. As a result of the animal's importance in the Southwest, the term, originally applied by the Spaniards, became highly integrated into English. This is evidenced by its use as a verb (first referenced in English in central Texas in 1896), meaning to frighten or confuse (or, by extension, to strike on the head with the barrel of a gun), as well as by its use in more than thirty compounds that refer to Southwestern plant life (buffalo berry, buffalo clover, buffalo pea) and animal life (buffalo fish, buffalo wolf). Some compounds containing buffalo also pertain to the history of the Southwest: "buffalo cider" or "buffalo gall" was a liquid found in the buffalo's stomach that could save a thirsty explorer, "buffalo fever" was the excitement felt at the onset of a "buffalo hunt," and "buffalo wood," "buffalo fuel" or "buffalo chips" referred to dried buffalo manure, used to start fires. Santamaría and the DRAE both point out the erroneous use of búfalo in North America to refer to the American bison.Alternate forms: buff, buffler, bufler. -

14 beefalo
(Combination of English beef and buffalo < Spanish búfalo [búfalo] < Late Latin bufalus < Classical Latin bübulus 'cattle; beef')Kansas: 1889. The offspring of a male buffalo and a domesticated cow. Blevins, citing Webster, says that the animal is "five-eighths beef and three-eighths bison." Ranchers have tried to breed cattle and buffalo to produce an animal that yields more meat, but consumers have balked at the combination. See also cattalo. -
15 cattalo
Watts: 1944. A cross between a cow (longhorn or fully domesticated one) and a buffalo. Adams says that Charles Goodnight was the first to produce a hybrid between these species, but Watts indicates that Spanish colonists attempted to breed cattle and buffalo as early as 1750 and that the idea was suggested in 1598. The original reason for breeding the two animals is disputed. Hendrickson cites Ferber, who suggests it was to make cattle more resistant to heat and ticks. Watts says that it was to produce a new kind of meat, which unfortunately proved to be inferior to beef. These hybrid animals are said to be difficult to domesticate and often sterile, but some believe there may yet be a market for them.Alternate forms: catalo, cattlo. -
