Water Buffalo

Water buffalo inhabit wetlands, swamps, river margins, and seasonally flooded grasslands. They graze on grasses, reeds, and other aquatic vegetation, often feeding in or near water. Adults wallow in mud to cool down and deter biting insects, and their broad horns can be formidable defensive weapons.
