The carabao is a domesticated subspecies of the water buffalo found in the Philippines, Guam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and various parts of Southeast Asia.

Carabaos are indigenous to Southeast Asia. Adult carabaos weigh seven to eight hundred kilograms-almost 2,000 pounds-and have fairly long gray or black hair thinly covering their huge bodies. They have a tuft of hair on their forehead, and at the tip of their tail. Normally, they are silent and docile, but they will give a trembling snort if they are surprised.

Both male and female have massive horns. Since the carabao has no sweat glands, it cools itself by lying in a waterhole or mud during the heat of the day. Mud, caked on to its body, also protects it from bothersome insects.

The carabao eats grass and other vegetation, feeding mainly in the cool of the mornings and evenings. In some places of the world the carabao is a source of milk just like the cow, or it may be slaughtered for its hide and its meat. Its life span is 18 to 20 years and the female carabao can deliver one calf each year.
