Description

Water buffalo skull, African, real bone

Water/River buffaloes prefer deep water. Swamp buffaloes prefer to wallow in mudholes which they make with their horns. During wallowing, they acquire a thick coating of mud. Both are well-adapted to a hot and humid climate. Water availability is important in hot climates, since they need wallows, rivers, or splashing water to assist in thermoregulation. Some water buffalo breeds are adapted to saline seaside shores and saline sandy terrain.

Skull is approximately 25 1/2 inches wide by 24 1/2 inches tall.
