Where does he feel at his best?

Meadows with large, shady trees and provide a shelter for shade. A pool, sloping edges and not too deep, they also love it.

The diet of buffalo is similar to that of cattle. Unlike cattle, buffalo can also graze under water: they can therefore eat all kinds of aquatic plants. They live on grass and leafy water vegetation.
