| Buffalos are wild oxen that came from
Asia and Africa. The American Buffalo are sometimes called bison. The Asian
or water buffalo are from India and other parts of Asia. Buffalo are up
to six feet tall at the shoulder.
Buffalo are cud chewing and have cloven
hooves. They also have permanent horns. They are larger and more powerful
than cattle. The buffalo has thick horns that curve outward toward the
shoulders. These horns may grow over one meter from tip to tip. The
water buffalo has short, stiff hair. A large portion of their hide
is bare and glossy. In the wild, the water buffalo are dangerous when being
awoken. |
