Wild water buffalo — size comparison — facts and sources
The wild water buffalo is a wild bovid associated with marshy grassland, floodplains and forest edges. Its massive body and widely spreading hooves suit soft ground. Characteristic horns extend far out from the skull. Older animals have very sparse hair, and the lower legs may be distinctly paler.
It eats grasses, sedges, herbs, leaves and aquatic vegetation. Females usually live in herds, while older males are more often solitary. Domestic water buffalo descend from this wild species.
