None of the scientific info I have found on the net about Asiatic buffalo is very comprehensive - most often very vague and usually full of errors. None of this is any different. IUCN is one of the worst for this - they rarely seem to keep their info up to date.... and they are meant to be the authority...

I have never seen a photo of a buffalo from India that didnt look just like every other Asiatic strain buffalo but with varying horn shapes. Id like to see a photo of one of those 'domestic' buffalo.

Are you talking about one of these?? This is the milking strain that was bought to Europe on then to the Americas from (some part of) Asia.
