> The most devastating blow for the buffalo, wolves, bears, etc was habitat loss.
Wasn't the most devastating blow to Buffalo the campaign by settlers to slaughter them, since they were important to the native Americans?

Bison are in North America while buffalo (small b) are in Asia and Africa.

I hope everyone in the city of Buffalo, NY are OK lol
If somebody said “buffalo” to me, I would assume they meant bison ( unless I had additional context ). If they meant Asian or African buffalo, I would expect them to say “water buffalo”.
Again, I am not arguing what is correct. I am commenting on what I think people, as a group, understand.
