Wild Water Buffaloes & Water Buffaloes In The Wild

Duration: 6:44
Updated: 03 Apr 2013

There are many captures of Wild Water Buffalo & Water Buffalo in this video.I filmed this in the park sanctuary and others in lakes and rivers. They are a group of animals who live and roam so freely in their natural habitat. At 3.18 mins you will see a beautiful Wild Water Buffalo with strong horns and you will realise how even and marvellous they are. He seemed like a loner and we were rather close to him and observing him. He returned our gaze with an equal stare for sometime.I always think that these Buffaloes are another addition to the beauty of Nature. I hope you will also see that they are chewing Gum:) all the time while in the water. Wild Water Buffalo =============== The wild water buffalo, also called Asian buffalo and Asiatic buffalo, is a large bovine native to Southeast Asia. The species is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 4,000, with an estimate of fewer than 2,500 mature individuals. The wild water buffalo is the ancestor of the domestic water buffalo, and the second-largest wild bovid, smaller only than the gaur.The slightly smaller African buffalo or Cape buffalo is not closely related to the water buffalo Wild water buffalo are larger and heavier than domestic buffalo.Both sexes carry horns that are heavy at the base and widely spreading up to 2 m along the outer edges, exceeding in size the horns of any other living bovid. Their skin color is ash gray to black. Wild water buffalos are both diurnal and nocturnal.Adult females and their young form stable clans of as many as 30 individuals that have home ranges of 170 to 1,000 ha, including areas for resting, grazing, wallowing and drinking. Clans are led by old cows, even when bulls accompany the group. Several clans form a herd of 30 to 500 animals that gather at resting areas. Adult males form bachelor groups of up to 10 individuals,They typically give birth to a single offspring, although twins are possible. Age at sexual maturity is 18 months for males, and three years for females. The maximum known lifespan is 25 years in the wild. They are probably grazers by preference, feeding mainly on true grasses when available, such as scutch grass, and sedges, but they also eat herbs, fruits, and bark, as well as browsing on trees and shrubs. Water Buffalo =========== The water buffalo or domestic Asian water buffalo is a large bovine animal, frequently used as livestock in the Indian Subcontinent, and also widely in South America, southern Europe, the Middle East, northern Africa, and elsewhere. In 2000, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimated there were approximately 158 million water buffalo in the world, with 97% of them (approximately 153 million animals) in Asia. Buffalo are used as draft, meat, and dairy animals. Their dung is used as a fertilizer, and as a fuel when dried.In the Thailand, Pakistan, and India, there are annual water buffalo races known as kambala. The water buffalo genus includes water buffalo, tamaraw and anoas, all of which are Asian species. The ancestry of the African buffalo is unclear, but it is not believed to be closely related to the water buffalo. River buffalo are usually black, have curled horns, and are native to the western half of Asia, whereas swamp buffalo can be black, white or both, with long, gently curved, swept-back horns; they are native to the eastern half of Asia from India to Taiwan. The largest recorded horns are just under two metres long. The classification of the water buffalo is uncertain.Some authorities list a single species, Bubalus bubalis, with three subspecies, the river buffalo of the Indian Subcontinent, the carabao or swamp buffalo of the Philippines and Southeast Asia, and the arni, or wild water buffalo.Others regard these as closely related, but separate, species. Asia is the native home of the water buffalo, with 95% of the world population, with about half of the total in India. Many Asian countries depend on the water buffalo as their primary bovine species. It is valuable for its meat and milk, as well as the labour it performs. The water buffalo also is the classic work animal in Asia, an integral part of that continent's traditional village farming structure.The domesticated water buffalo is often referred to as "the living tractor of the East", as it is relied upon for ploughing and transportation in many parts of Asia. Water buffalo spend much of their day submerged in the muddy waters of Asia's tropical and subtropical forests. They have wide-splayed hooves, which are used to prevent them from sinking too deeply in the mud. These adaptations allow them to move in wetlands and swamps. Water buffalo also prefer to feed in grasslands on grass and forbs.
