The water buffalo or domestic Asian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is a large buffalo found on the Indian subcontinent to Vietnam and Peninsular Malaysia, in Sri Lanka and in Borneo. Water buffaloes are especially suitable for tilling rice fields, and their milk is richer in fat and protein than of the dairy cow. The large feral population of northern Australia became established in the late 19th century, and there are smaller feral herds in New Guinea, Tunisia and northeastern Argentina. Two groups have been described, termed Swamp and River types.

 There are at least 130 million domestic water buffalo, and more human beings depend on them than on any other domestic animal.The wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee) native to Southeast Asia is considered a different species that is listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining global wild population totals less than 4,000 individuals, with an estimate of fewer than 2,500 mature individuals. The population decline of at least 50% over the last 24–30 years is projected to continue.

It most likely represents the ancestor of the domestic water buffalo.Water buffaloes were domesticated in India some 5000 years ago, and in China 4000 years ago. Two types are recognized, based on morphological and behavioural criteria – the river buffalo of the Indian subcontinent and further west to the Balkans and Italy, and the swamp buffalo, found from Assam in the west through Southeast Asia to the Yangtze valley of China in the east.

 The origin of the domestic water buffalo is still an open question. Results of a phylogenetic study indicate that the swamp water buffalo may have originated in China, while the river water buffalo originated from India

Buffalo

Buffalo is included in subkeluarga animals bovinae. Wild buffalo are still to be found in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam, China, Philippines, Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand. Taming buffalo are very common in Asia, South America, North Africa and Europe. Buffalo Wild life and found many in Southeast Asia, although the origin of the buffalo is still questionable. At this time the population of wild buffalo in Asia started to decline and it is feared that in the future there will be no wild buffalo population is to be found.
Buffalo adults can have a weight around 300 kg to 600 kg. Wild buffalo can have greater weight, wild buffalo female can weigh up to 800 kg and wild buffalo bull can weigh up to 1200 kg. Average weight of male buffalo is 900 kg and average height at the shoulder is 1.7 m buffalo. One of the distinguishing features of wild buffalo buffalo buffalo tame tame is a rounded stomach. With the availability of mixing between buffalo-buffalo offspring between different populations, buffalo weight also changing. Buffalo may have originated from South Asia.
Buffalo classification is still uncertain. Some of the group as a species buffalo Bubalus bubalis with three subspecies of river buffalo (B. bubalis bubalis) of South Asian origin, Buffalo heath (B. bubalis carabanesis) originated from Southeast Asia and Arni or wild buffalo (B. bubalis arnee ). Other types usually are akin near this subspecies. Swamp buffalo can be found in Southeast Asia has 48 chromosomes. River buffalo has 50 chromosomes. Descended from two subspecies can be found and they can produce offspring, although they can not breed with the cows have 60 chromosomes.


Fox

Fox is a carnivorous mammals that live on land, largely from family Viverridae. It is a kind of wild animals but not wild, very cunning and cowardice. It looks like a cat but a great little body and be active at night. Fox is a warm-blooded animals, childbirth, child care, and have fur on the body



Beavers are animals that live near the water. They are part of the family Mustelidae animals. There are different types of otters, some live near rivers and sea (sea otters). Beavers live on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
