Note
This plural simply adds -s to the singular, and it counts everything the singular can name. Strictly it belongs to the true buffalos, such as the Cape buffalo and the water buffalo, but it also covers their North American relative, the bison of the plains. It can mean buffalo fish too, and in US slang a pocketful of nickels; the setting, not the spelling, tells you which herd you are reading about.
