Asiatic Buffalo in Yala NP I know, it seems like I have a thing for mammals with birds on their back - and there are more to come! I had always wanted to see these in the wild after seeing thousands in cities in India while on business trips - so I was thrilled to see lots of these in Yala NP in Sri Lanka.
