Hi Folks,

Here is a water buffalo, perhaps taking its turn guarding the mud pond where the rest of its herdfellows were still enjoying the mud bath.

In Asia, in the rural countryside where there are rice filed there are herds of them grazing somewhere.

The beasts love to soak in mud pool to cool off and could soak all day long and just lie in mud until they get either hungry or when it is getting dark or cold.

Thanking you in advance for viewing and your kind words.

Agoes

Hi Agoes,
Amazing animal! I thought it was a statue because of the texture created by the mud!!!
Wonderful colors and sharpness.

A good, solid capture of this water buffalo - in Filipino it's 'carabao,' perhaps similar in Malay?

Good available light, colour, DOF.

Salam Sahabat,
it is such a lovely shot of this buffalo. Excellent pose and full clarity cladded with mud. He is still as handsome and macho as his nature.
It is hard to get it in Kedah.
Wonderful to share.

regards,
Foozi
