Buffaloes they must be elk or deer would look red wolves red or white; and they could not be bears, as these last would not likely be out on the prairie in threes, unless, indeed, they might be grizzly bears who do sometimes go out into the open ground to dig for the "pomme-blanche" and other roots.
