i tried to collect some photos of the lesser known Bubalus arnee arnee -numbering only around 500 from Nepal and Udanti reserve in central India. This species is ver often isolated in a single reserve dedicated soley to their survival and are in such low numbers that they are highly inbred, cross breeding with domestic buffaloes, getting disease like rinderpest, foot and mouth and Tuberculosis. Their survival in the wild is gravely at stake and I feel sad that they are not getting enough attention.

Some translocated individuals in chitwan national park. Sadly, of the fifteen individuals- three zoo animals died from in-adaptability in the wild, two died from flooding, one died from accidental tiger attack... .. its nearly one year since the tranlocation, no offsprings yet but hopefully the remaining nine can make it and breed in Chitwan. After the flood, grassland was smothered and now authorities are feeding them supplements in a bucket to revive their health.
