TheHunter: Call of the Wild Wiki


"The water buffalo is the largest member of the bovini tribe, making it a truly massive and intimidating animal. Feral herds of the water buffalo are present in many parts of the world, most notably in Australia, New Guinea, Argentina and Tunisia, after they were initially brought there for domestic purposes. Water buffalo can grow to be nearly 2.00 m at the shoulder and frequently weigh over a tonne, making them visibly larger than the African Cape Buffalo. They use their massive horns to defend their herd, fight for dominance, or spar with other herd-mates. Feral herds pose problems to local communities because of overgrazing and territorialism and are difficult to fight off due to their imposing stature."
