Buffalo refers to the genus Bubalus: * * * * There are four species. Buffalo (wild buffalo) is a common animal power in Asia, and its wild population is distributed in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand and northern Australia, and the number is very rare. Mindoro buffaloes are distributed in Mindoro Island in the Philippines, and there are only about 200 buffaloes left. Mountain buffaloes and lowland buffaloes are both distributed in Sulawesi Islands of Indonesia, with few numbers. They were once classified as Anoa, and the World Conservation Union (IUCN) included them in Buffalo, indicating that the classification is controversial. Most of them live in virgin forests and swamps, move alone or in pairs or in small groups, and feed on aquatic plants at dawn and dusk. All buffaloes are endangered species.
