Marrakai

Another question about red buffalo . I am reading Capstick's book "Death in a Lonely Land" where he is hunting the Marajo Islands in Brazil. He writes "the Asian red buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals in the world to hunt. Period. Some confusion arises when hunters forget that there are two kinds of Buffalo in Asia, and to put the domestic caraboa or water buffalo, common as a beast of burden throughout the East, in the same league with the much larger wild red buff is like entering Joe Frazier in a Golden Gloves contest". When considering where to hunt them he says "Austrailia was a bit far". Was he talking out his ass? Maybe they have crossbred and that is why there are color phases? Just asking. Nice buff and continued success.
