Re: Which is tougher the Asiatic or cape buffalo!

I recently watched a video in Africa of children riding on cape buffalo which until that time I believed were never domesticated. I have some hunting footage of cape buffalo and water buffalo in which both animals soak up lots of lead. One of the toughest was a asiatic water buffalo that took 6 solid hits from a .470 and just kept acting like he wasn't hit. One of my cape buff videos shows a charge in which the buff is shot 6 times as well with a shot through the eye ending the matter. I listened to a "expert" that owns buffalo from all species and sub-species explain the differences in the water buffalo. He describes the swept horn such as is commonly seen in Austrailia as the asiatic water buffalo. A brown colored variation with horns that dip then turn up as the river buff or buffalipso and a black buffalo with horns like a cape buff except they don't have a boss as the island buff. There is a gent that lives about 20 miles from here that collects buff species. He has asiatic, gaur, buffalipso and cape buff. As big as the gaur are he has a bull that from what I was told is a asiatic that is well over 6' high at the shoulder and weighs nearly 3000lbs. He has bred some more bulls in the last few years from this bull and the off spring are huge within 3 years. reflex264
