Water Buffalo Found Living In River Near Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, WI - A water buffalo has been found living in a river near Milwaukee.

The buffalo was first spotted by a local resident in the Milwaukee River last week. The resident said the buffalo appeared to be healthy and was eating grass along the riverbank.

Officials from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department say they have no plans to capture or euthanize the buffalo. They say they will simply monitor the animal and make sure it is not causing any problems.

This is not the first time a water buffalo has been spotted in Wisconsin. In 2012, a water buffalo was found living in a pond near Madison.

Kentucky Farmer Discovers Herd Of Water Buffalo On His Property

A Kentucky farmer was quite surprised when he discovered a herd of water buffalo grazing on his property. The farmer, who asked to remain anonymous, said he had no idea how the animals got there.

"I've never seen anything like it," he said. "I was just out checking on my cows and I saw these big black critters out in the pasture. I thought at first they were some kind of strange deer, but when I got closer I realized they were water buffalo."

The farmer said he was even more surprised to find out that the water buffalo were pregnant. "There must have been at least a dozen of them, and they all looked like they were close to giving birth. It's a good thing I found them when I did, or they might have had their babies out there in the open!"

He called the local authorities, who told him that someone must have dumped the water buffalo off on his property. "It's just a big mystery how they got here," he said. "But at least I know they won't be bothering me anymore. I don't know what I would have done if they had had their calves out there in my pasture!"

Ohio Man Tries To Sell Pet Water Buffalo On Craigslist

An Ohio man attempted to sell a pet water buffalo on Craigslist this week, drawing responses from potential buyers across the country.

The buffalo, which is about 2-years-old and 120 pounds, is being sold for $1,000. The man, who declined to be named, said he purchased the animal about a year ago as a pet for his children but they have since lost interest in it.

"It's just been eating and pooping in my backyard," the man told Cleveland 19 News. "I don't have the means to take care of it."

The ad has been met with mixed reactions, with some people expressing interest in purchasing the buffalo while others are calling it a "terrible idea" that could lead to the animal being neglected or even slaughtered.

Water buffaloes are not commonly kept as pets in the United States, but they can make good companions for those who have plenty of space and are willing to care for them properly. They are typically hardy animals that can adapt to a variety of climates and prefer to live in open pastures or wetland areas.

Florida Man Keeps Water Buffalo As Pet

A Florida man has been keeping a water buffalo as a pet. The water buffalo, named "Bubba," was originally purchased by the man as an attraction for his vape shop, but the man has since grown attached to Bubba and decided to keep him.

"He's like my little buddy," said the man. "I couldn't just turn him loose."

The man said he feeds Bubba a mix of hay, corn, and protein powder, and that Bubba loves to swim in the nearby river. He also said that Bubba is very gentle and easy to care for.

Despite being a large animal, Bubba does not take up much space and can even be kept in a backyard or barn.
