Bubalus is a genus of large mammals that includes the water buffalo, commonly found in Asia and parts of Africa. These animals are known for their strong build, large horns, and ability to thrive in wetland habitats. Water buffalo are often domesticated for their milk, meat, and as draft animals in agriculture. In addition to the water buffalo, the Bubalus genus also includes the wild buffalo, which inhabit forested areas in Southeast Asia. These wild species are important for maintaining ecological balance and are often threatened by habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect their populations and habitats.
