I was named after the toy trucks though. I was given the name by someone pretty much as big as a buffalo / bison... he had to be pushing 30 stone.
I think your case for calling them 'Bison' in Wiltshire is pretty convincing... what with it being a bison farm and all

I was in Dorset at the weekend... no one seemed to be in the know regarding bison though. They did know a lot about coy carp however.
I'm sorry I let team Hampshire down... that damn museum in Canada told me lies.
