Two water Buffalo Thaton Chiang Mai Northern Thailand

---

The abundant Domestic Asian Water buffalo is prominent in Asia, and South America, it is a large ungulate and a member of the bovine subfamily. It has gone feral in northern Australia with wild-living populations existing in much of Southeast Asia. All its domestic verities and breeds have descended from one common ancestor the Wild Asian Water buffalo which is now an endangered species. Buffaloes, apart from their use as draught (see also draught horse) and milk animals, are also used to pull bullock carts in developing world. Their dung is used as a fertilizer and as a fuel when dried. In Chonburi, Thailand, and in South Malabar Region in Kerala, India, there are annual water buffalo races. A few have also found use as pack animals carrying loads even for special forces.
