Water Buffalo

Since many of our beautiful horn items are made of water buffalo horn, I may introduce this interesting species.

Asian buffalo

The water buffalo, also known as the Asian buffalo, is a large domesticated bovine found throughout Asia and is an important livestock animal in many countries. They are known for their strength, endurance, and ability to work in wet environments, making them ideal for agriculture in flooded areas.

Water buffaloes are used for a variety of purposes, including plowing fields, transporting goods, and providing milk, meat, and hides. They are also used for recreational activities, such as buffalo racing, and for religious and cultural events, such as festivals and ceremonies.

In Vietnam for example, the water buffalo is a great help for rice farmers who rely on its strength to carry burdens or plow the rice paddies.

Water buffalo

In terms of physical appearance, water buffaloes have a distinctive hump on their shoulders, a large head, and long, curved horns. They have a shaggy coat that ranges in color from dark brown to black and have a wide, stocky build that allows them to navigate through mud and water with ease.

Water buffaloes are known for their docile nature and are relatively easy to handle. However, they can be unpredictable and aggressive if they feel threatened, and should be treated with caution.

Overall, the water buffalo is an important livestock animal in many parts of Asia, and its versatility and strength have made it an essential part of agricultural and cultural life in the region for centuries.
