Facts About Water Buffaloes

  • Water buffaloes are an endangered species.
  • They stand 5 – 6.2 feet tall at the shoulder.
  • They can weigh anywhere between 1500-2600 lbs. (700-1200kg)
  • Male water buffaloes carry backward-curving horns that stretch up to 5 feeet long. Females are smaller with proportionately smaller horns.
  • They spend most of their day submerged in muddy water.
  • The marshes they spend their time in provide good cover and have rich aquatic plants for them to eat, though they usually choose to feed in the grasslands.
