I came across this whilst researching for the Chonburi Buffalo Races....so if you want to see one run you must get to Pattaya for the beginning of October. Thanks.

Being in Vietnam I may get to meet some over the next few weeks so will be reassured by your tales of nonchalence (but less so based on the shoeing the lion got on the horns of one of them in the video!). Keep up the great letters. Thanks for the briefing on these great beasties Craig.

In our country we call them carabao, kalabaw, karabao, and they were the main beast of burden and transport for a very long time. We developed wheels late, as our tropical underfoot is very subject to weather and plants. My grandfather once accidentally bumped one on the road with his new car. The vehicle was destroyed in a bad way, but the carabao only fell down, got back up, and walked away nonchalantly. The resilience it was born into. Though very mild mannered, the carabao was known sometimes (during the American occupation of our country) to attack enemy soldiers. Never local soldiers :D Thank you for posting this!
