Early morning enthusiasm in the forest
That time I had to share the bike track with two very enthusiastic youngsters in the Siem Reap countryside near Angkor Thom.
Culture and nature
Water buffaloes are still of some importance in agriculture in Cambodia. Traditionally used for ploughing the fields and carting heavy loads, those tasks are increasingly done by mechanised tractors and specialised machinery. But for milk, meat, fortune and for breeding they are popular and even exported.
These animals live well of ordinary grass and water plants. All easily accessible food with no need of industrialised special fodder. They return valuable quality fertiliser in return, and they are important in keeping and being a vital part of the cultural landscape.
Respect and distance
These buffaloes are domesticated livestock, and normally quite docile. But they are each still 2 pointy ends backed by 200 kilo+ of bones and muscles, so respectful distance is smart when encountering these animals unexpected.
Me, sitting on my bike in a crossroad in front of these two fellows, continued out of their track on my way after I had taken this shot. I saw these two rumbling on their way crossing the road behind me.
Hope they enjoyed this moment as much as me.

#Waterbuffalo are still used for rice farming in southern China today.
On return to our holiday accommodation yesterday evening we were greeted by a pair of Water Buffalo 😂
The accommodation was on a farm in the wilderness of the Brecon Beacons in Wales

Buffalo gals like buffalo gals like them:

(But N=30 when there are 200 million water buffalo worldwide?)
Since 2015, #WaterBuffalo have been grazing in the #Marshland of the Tegeler Fließtal in #Berlin, part of the #European #Natura2000 network of protected areas.
Their wide-spread hooves do not sink into swampy ground, and by grazing wet lowlands, they ensure that their special vegetation is preserved, and that these landscapes do not become overgrown with trees and shrubs. Because buffalo like to wallow, new places are also created where amphibians and many insects feel at home.
More from my hike: next to frog and dragonfly you can also see water buffalos nearby 😁
