There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

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.
