BE GRATEFUL YOU DON'T LIVE WITH
A WATER BUFFALO


Picture: DRAGON NEWS PICTURE AGENCY

It is more docile than a cow and may be the animal of the future for the British flood plains. Its large boxy hooves and flexible leg joints are ideal for mud and it can even graze under water by closing its nostrils. It pulls carts and is used for buffalo flat racing. Its milk is richer than cow milk and its meat has less cholesterol. It can break out of ordinary fields and swim even the largest river, but is easily kept in by electric fencing. The Chinese even toilet-train it.
