query: how many water buffalo are left in the world

pos: Water buffalo of "Bubalus" species implies that the domestic buffalo originated from at least two populations, and that the river and the swamp types have differentiated at the full species level. The genetic distance between the two types is so large that a divergence time of about 1.7 million years has been suggested. The swamp type was noticed to have the closest relationship with the tamaraw. By 2011, the global water buffalo population was about 172 million head. More than 95.8% of the world population of water buffalo are kept in Asia, including both river and swamp types. The water buffalo population

neg: Wild water buffalo International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature placed "Bubalus arnee" on the "Official List of Specific Names in Zoology", recognizing the validity of this name for a wild species. Most authors have adopted the binomen "Bubalus arnee" for the wild water buffalo as valid for the taxon. Only a few DNA sequences are available from wild water buffalo populations. Wild populations are considered to be the progenitor of modern domesticated water buffalo, but the genetic variation within "B. arnee" is unclear, and also how they are related to the domesticated river and swamp forms.

Many surviving populations are thought to have interbred with feral or domestic water buffalo. In the late 1980s, fewer than 100 wild water buffalo were left in Madhya Pradesh. By 1992, only 50 animals were estimated to have survived there. Nepal's only population lives in the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, and has grown from 63 individuals in 1976 to 219 individuals in 2009. Latest census was carried out in 2016 which revealed this population has now grown significantly and has reached a total of 432 individuals

neg: Buffalo (game) are in existence. A folk origin of the game states that Buffalo Club stems from the gunslinging days of the Wild West where the use of one's right hand (the shooting hand) was at times a matter of life or death. Thus, recreational activities such as playing cards or drinking were done with the left hand only to avoid severe consequences. The game is now popular around the world. The rules are fairly simple, though widely varying, and involve which hand a player may use to drink. One version of how to play the game: Buffalo (game) Buffalo or Buffalo

The real problem is a secondary infection that may arise due to these parasites, the protozooan "Epistylis" and bacteria "Flavobacterium columnare" are both attached to serious parasite infestations. Bigmouth hybridizes. The bigmouth has been seen to hybridize in the wild with smallmouth buffalo, and it is possible that some fish identified as black buffalo are indeed these hybrids. The hybridization does not seem to be negatively impacting their populations but makes it difficult to determine how many hybrids and how many black buffalo are actually in certain

The Witch Buffaloes kept the local people and wildlife away from their spring, so the indigenous people couldn't hunt or collect salt from the lick. Then one day the Little People came and killed the Witch Buffaloes, making the area safe. The bones of the Witch Buffalo were left in place by the spring, which later shrank and became bitter. This is how the Wyandot people explained the area's large fossil bones and salty water. The large Pleistocene buffalo fossils of the Ohio River area would have been recognizable

Each time they went away, they carried mud with them from the hole, thus enlarging the wallow. Furthermore, wallowing action caused abrasion of hair, natural body oils and cellular debris from their hides and left the

Swamp buffalo occur only in small areas in north-eastern India and are not distinguished into breeds. In 2003, the second-largest population lived in China, with 22.76 million head, all of the swamp type with breeds kept only in the lowlands, and other breeds kept only in the mountains; as of 2003, 3.2 million swamp-type carabao buffalo were in the Philippines, nearly three
