Una cosa semplice!
Come si dice in inglese "Bufala"??
Bufala intesa come animale :)
Cow sarebbe Mucca, ma bufala??
GRAZIE!

Sembra che trabant abbia detto :

Sě, ma il tipo che si vede vicino a Napoli e da cui si usa il latte per fare 
mozzarella, si chiama 'water buffalo'. 'Buffalo' sono quelli che corsero sui 
grande piani dell'America.

E quindi "mozzarella di bufala" come si dovrebbe dire correttamente?
"water buffalo mozzarella cheese" ?

Il Picchi e il Garzanti traducono "bufala", in senso zoologico, con "cow
buffalo".
"Buffalo", inglese, invece, č: 
(zool.) (Bubalus bubalus) bufalo indiano; (Bison bison) bisonte americano

The animal so well known in the American West is not the buffalo, but
the American bison. Most of us know that the "buffalo" are really
bison, but we still call them buffalo.
<<A later English naturalist described them as buffalo which name
stuck, even though the term is more correctly applied to other types
of wild oxen found in Asia and Africa.>>

I often sat by the side of the road north of Naples eating a
mozzarella di bufala sandwich, while watching the buffalo which had
produced the cheese wallowing contentedly in the mud.
One difference between the bison and the buffalo is that bison can
successfully mate with cattle, resulting in what Americans call the
"Beefalo".

Solo negli Stati Uniti, Tony. In GB, si chiamano "bison" -- bisonte in
italiano, se non mi sbaglio.

 "water buffalo mozzarella cheese" ?
Non mai! Invece si usa l'espressione italiana, o si dice 'buffalo 
mozzarella'.

 italiano, se non mi sbaglio.
Bison are also called bison in the US and you will find the two terms 
'buffalo' and 'bison' used interchangeably in casual conversation. The use 
of the word 'buffalo' is indelibly marked on the American consciousness by 
such expressions as 'give me a home, where the buffalo roam' and 'buffalo 
nickel'. The fact remains that you must say 'water buffalo' to an American 
to specifically identify that animal in your communication.

True. However, as regards the cheese, as others have pointed out, in the US
it's called 'buffalo mozzarella'.
