Indian Water buffalo have massive necks, have you seen them in person?

 

I have seen water buffalo, but it's such a long time ago that I can't remember the size exactly.... But they do seem to have large and thick neck. 

Yeah me to, but maybe it has something to do with the massive shoulders, a neck match those shoulders would made foraging hard, to bend down! First thing I did when i saw the gaur was compare him to cape buffalos, and the neck was the only place the buffalo seem'd the have more compact! Also the skinn looks thicker on cape buffalos! But I have only looked at a gaur never tutched one, so hard to say!
