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.

Impressive showing by the Nguni but the longer it goes the more I'd favor the cape snapping those horns or wearing it out.

I think the horn shape is playing in favour of the bull... reaching the buffaloes throat & neck over its curved horns.
If it were a real Aurochs in a real fight, bigger & with larger horns, then I suppose the cape would be at a disadvantageous position.

I think it's the reverse, the backward curvature allow the Cape to penetrate from behind the Nguni's horns every time he jerks his head up and lifts the Nguni.
Added on top of the fact that his bos crosses the whole front of his head, he should be able to withstand more abuse as well.

The presence of the boss definitely showed. I meant for a real Aurochs. 

The rest I spoke from seeing domestic cows & water-buffalo fight. The cows are smaller, lighter but their straighter horns have greater reach.

Here I find a footage concerning Nilgai or Bluebill taking on Zebu type cattle, the fight seems very equal but the end is somewhat shocking, can someone explain what caused it.

Damn.. the (usually feral) bull was bigger & heavier, but the wild nilgai's experience showed from first to finish. Especially with him folding his knees to get below & perfectly exploiting the slight misstep by the bull.

Probably did some internal injury while flipping the bull. If he lived he won't mess with a nilgai again.

This BBC article on the history of the pizza mentioned that there are 3 basic types of Neapolitan pizza (the "authentic pizza"): http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20200415...tan-master
- The Margherita, topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil
- The Marinara, which skips the cheese and uses oregano and garlic instead of basil
- The “DOC”, made with mozzarella di bufala (buffalo mozzarella) instead of the usual fior di latte made from cow’s milk

And they mentioned that only 2 types of mozzarella are used for Neapolitan pizza:
- Fior di latte, made from cow’s milk
Mozzarella di bufala, made from the milk of the water buffalo that live in the country’s Campania and Lazio regions.

Here is apparently one of those Italian water buffaloes that is used to produce that kind of mozzarella for the authentic Italian pizza, by Yashima:

@BorneanTiger, a little known anecdote about origin of buffalo mozzarella is these buffaloes were only kept by people to reduce the number of mosquitoes and diseases like malaria when they noticed that these buffaloes control the mosquito population. When they realized that they had too many buffaloes and were mulling what to do with all the buffalo milk, that is when Buffalo mozzarella was made.

Wow, they're so muscular and huge! Correct me if I'm wrong but it happens because of a natural mutation right? Either way, I wouldn't want to bother anyone of them at all hahaha.

The Manchega sheep, native to La Mancha region of Spain, are famous for producing the popular Manchego cheese: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-caprine...#pid121928

I see these bulls around my old grandparents area all the time. They can be quite aggressive to people sometimes if they get agitated by them.

I'm sure its a mix of controlled breeding as well as steroid/hormones.
