ASIAN water Buffalo
Scientific Name: Bubalus bubalis

Asian water buffalo spend much of their time submerged in water or mud to stay cool and avoid insects.
They can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes.
Their wide, specialized hooves help them stand in muddy terrain and swim efficiently.
Water buffalo can reach top speeds of up to 30 miles per hour over short distances.
They provide more than 5% of the world’s milk supply.
Domesticated over 5,000 years ago, they are widely used for farm work, milk, meat, horns, and hide.
