    The horns are very long so it could be closer to a wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee), although it is believed that there are no true wild ones left in Sri Lanka. Posted 11 years ago

      I took this photo at Yala National Park. This buffalo is definitely different than the ones, we usually see in Sri Lanka. Because it is believed there is not wild buffalos left in Sri Lanka, I classified it as water buffalo.
