Le genre Bubalus regroupe les buffles asiatiques. Traduction de l'anglais water buffalo, l'appellation pour ce genre de « buffle d'eau » que l'on rencontre parfois, est un pléonasme en français (pas en anglais où elle sert à distinguer le buffle du bison également appelé buffalo). En effet le buffle, inféodé à l'état sauvage aux milieux humides, reste très attiré par les zones aquatiques et il n'existe pas de « buffle de terre », à moins d'appeler ainsi le genre sauvage africain Syncerus, qui a une morphologie différente.
