Water Buffalo at Tiergarten Schönbrunn (Vienna Zoo - Austria)

The Water Buffalo or domestic Asian Water Buffalo is a large bovid found on the Indian subcontinent to Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia,
in Sri Lanka, in the Philippines, and in Borneo. Water buffaloes are especially suitable for tilling rice fields, and their milk is richer in fat and protein than that of the dairy cow. The large feral population of northern Australia became established in the late 19th century, and there are smaller feral herds in New Guinea, Tunisia and northeastern Argentina. Special breeds have also developed in Europe.
Tiergarten Schönbrunn breeds the rare West Hungarian Water Buffalo.
