Water Buffalo

Originally from the Indian subcontinent, the water buffalo was introduced in the northern provinces of Argentina in the first decade of the 20th century. It was later introduced in La Pampa where the thick forest of Calden trees provided a perfect habitat for the specie.

Big males can weigh around 2,600 lb and are known as the world’s largest bovines. Females are smaller and rarely exceed 2,200lb.

A large part of the water buffalo’s envelope is either devoid of hair or stiff with very short hair. Its color is black.
