  Buffaloberry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Buffaloberries (Shepherdia) are a genus of small shrubs which have rather bitter tasting berries, native to North America.
They are eaten primarily by bears and are presumably so popular with bears because they contain a molecule that helps to keep fat on the body which is useful for the winter season.
Buffaloberries are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including The Engrailed and Coleophora elaeagnisella.
