THE FUTURE OF CARABAO

I was telling my son, maybe in a not so distant future, you will then be seeing carabaos in resin and not moving… like these two … hope not.


The carabao (Filipino: kalabaw; Malay: kerbau) or Bubalus bubalis carabanesis is a domesticated subspecies of the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) found in the Philippines, Guam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and various parts of Southeast Asia. Carabaos are associated with farmers, being the farm animal of choice for pulling both a plow and the cart used to haul produce to the market (courtesy of www.wikipedia.org)

Marvelous watery reflections, Vernz! I do hope the carabao survives! So many animals are on the verge of extinction and it is so sad! Have a great weekend!

I read you post on top of this one too -- and yikes! that is too bad about the electricity brownout.
