Asian Wild Water-Buffalo (Bubalus arnee)

[Wolverine]

These water buffaloes were once feral but later returned to wild. Swampy areas of Northern Australia now are home of the largest population of semi-wild water buffaloes and the largest population of salt water crocodiles in the world - 150 000 buffaloes and 100-200 000 crocs. Crocs were once almost annihilated by humans in Australia but now are well protected already several decades so taking into account that crocs need a time to grow probably after 1-2 decades protection could be expected a really gigantic saltwater crocs in Australia.
