'''Water buffalos''' are [[domestic animal]]s roughly twice the size of a standard [[cow]]. They are a common choice for [[trader]]'s pack animals, and dwarven settlers may bring one or more water buffalos to pull their [[wagon (embark)|wagons]] on [[embark]]. Wild water buffalos may appear as wandering animals in [[tropical]] [[wetland]] [[biome]]s.

'''Water buffalo cows''' or '''water buffalo bulls''' are cow-like [[domestic animal]]s that can be milked. Having about 4 times as much meat, they can feed 7-14 dwarves for an entire year after being butchered. They require a rather large [[pasture]] to survive; their high food requirements make them a poor choice for livestock, as well as their tendency to occasionally attack other livestock.
  
Water buffalos are grazing animals; they require a large [[pasture]] to survive.

Some dwarves like water buffalos "for their water wallowing".
Producing up to four times the [[butcher]]ing returns of an ordinary cow, they can feed 7-14 dwarves for an entire year. Water buffalo cows can also be [[milk]]ed for additional sustenence. Because of their voracious appetites, water buffalos are a challenging choice for livestock, and their large size makes them dangerous in an [[overcrowding|overcrowded]] pasture.
