I hunt buffalo in Brazil and we have three "different" buffalo.

I mean different because of "horn types".

The curly horns are from the breed called MURRAH

The horns that start downwards and then curl in the botton are the JAFARABADI.

The ones in Australia and in some places of Brazil (like tha famous Marajo Island in the Amazon first hunted by Fred Bear the bowhunter) are called here the CARABAO. It seems the Carabaos that came to Brazil were from the Philipines (according to some amazon early ranchers books and records).

All three types were certainly tamed, domesticated buffalo.

My GUESS is that both the Murrah and Jaffarabadi were selected for their milk production and are further down the domestication process.

The Carabao are more prone to becoming wilder. However, being mostly a bowhunter, and hunting them in the tick jungles here, I have been attacked by all of them. I have fond memmories of many well placed trees...

Cheers, Dante

PS - my .470 Chapuis arrived and it is a great looking rifle. Shot it last weekend and it is great. Next hunt will be quite a change from my recurve bow with no sights.
