What is the hemoglobin content of cows and buffalos?
Hemoglobin content, level, rate or range varies by elevation, sex, breed, and genetics of all animals. Cows and buffalo that live in higher elevations tend to have higher hemoglobin levels.
The average range of hemoglobin content of cattle is as follows:
Cows: 10 to 15 gm/dl
Bulls: 8 to 12 gm/dl
The range of hemoglobin for buffalo (assuming in reference to Asian Water Buffalo, not the much wilder African Cape Buffalo) is as follows:
Cows: 12 to 14 gm/dl
Bulls: 13 to 15 gm/dl
It should also be noted that some animals may have normal hemoglobin levels that are higher than what is listed here, possibly as high as 19 gm/dl, though this should be considered not all that common.

How is a buffalo adapted to feeding on grass and escaping lions?
Water Buffalo have specialized teeth for grinding vegetation down, as well as a 4 chambered stomach ( like cows!) . This ensures proper digestion of the plant material ( grass, in this case). A buffalo has a thick hide, hooves, and horns for personal defense-- which can help fend off lions by kicking and goring predators that try to attack them. They also travel in large groups-- safety in numbers-- sometimes mingling with zebra and wildebeest herds. Additionally, they protect their young in similar ways to elephants, bringing them to the center of the herd and encircling them!
Today, in South Dakota, public bison herds can be found in Badlands National Park, Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park. Bison are found primarily on open plains and grasslands where they feed on grass.
