So there is no genetic homogeneity... Probably were haphazardly obtained from all over Asia.

The one in @Pckts' video on a very much the wild ones though. It only natural that wild OG water-buffalo genetic traits would prevail & dominate with time.

Exactly, its written that:
"Australia has two types of buffalo: the river type from western Asia, with curled horns, and the swamp type from eastern Asia, with swept-back horns."

It will be really interesting if in the future in the wild will go some kind of back-selection of the animals with larger horns. Reply
