It is a type of buffalo (NOT bison) similar to the Cape buffalo, only with a longer spread of horns and no crest of horn over the forehead. There are two types: the domesticated water buffalo, which are used and raised by humans for milk, meat and draft work, and the wild water buffalo. Both species are found in the native south and western parts of Asia, but have also been imported to Australia and a few animals to North America.

In groups
Cape Buffalo live in sub-Saharan Africa. Wild water buffalo live in southern and Southeast Asia. Bison, which are sometimes called buffalo but in fact aren't, live in North America and in a very small part of Europe.
There are three species of buffalo, the water buffalo, cape buffalo, and American buffalo. Water buffalo are the largest, weighing between 1,500 and 2,650-pounds. The cape buffalo can be found all over sub-Saharan Africa. The American buffalo, also called bison, live on prairies, plains or in river valleys.
Buffalo are herbivores that spend their day grazing, enjoying the available sources of water, reproducing, and avoiding their predators, such as wolves.
Buffalo are not amphibians. Amphibians are small, sometimes slimy creatures that can live in the water and land, both, but can only lay eggs in water. A buffalo is a very large hairy beast that is a mammal. It lives on land and sometimes wades around in water, but never lives IN water.

African Cape Buffalo are found on the plains of Africa. Asian Water Buffalo are found in Southeast Asia. Bison (mistaken as "buffalo") are primarily found in North America.
Yes, but only a particular species known as the Asian Water Buffalo (domesticated and wild) live in Asia.
Water buffalo eat grasses primarily.
What most in the US call buffalo are the American Bison, which primarily live in the plains of the west, in states such as Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado, in the western sections of Nebraska and South Dakota, and in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma. The true buffalo lives in equatorial Africa (African buffalo) and in India and southeast Asia (water buffalo).
Buffaloes are primarily found in the regions of South Asia, particularly in countries like India and Nepal, where the domesticated water buffalo thrives. Wild buffalo species, such as the Asian water buffalo, inhabit wetlands, rivers, and grasslands in Southeast Asia. Additionally, the African buffalo is native to sub-Saharan Africa, residing in savannas, grasslands, and forests.
