Buffalo are dangerous if aroused. The animal has been domesticated, however, and has been used as a draft animal since ancient times. In the Philippines the water buffalo is known as the carabao. Another Asian buffalo is the tamarau, a small, hairy variety of water buffalo. Native to the Philippine island of Mindoro, this animal is only about 1.1 m (about 3.5 ft) high at the shoulder. Two rare, related species live on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes).
African buffalo include the cape buffalo and the dwarf forest buffalo; both are different forms of the same species. The cape buffalo, which inhabits most of southern and central Africa is large, measuring about 5.5 ft. at the shoulder. It is noted for horns that are massive at the base, forming a helmet over the forehead and reaching a length of about 3 ft. The dwarf forest buffalo lives in forest areas of central and western Africa. About 3.5 ft. high, it has a reddish hide and backward-curving horns.
Scientific classification: Buffalo belong to the family Bovidae, subfamily Bovinae. The Asian buffalo is classified as Bubalus bubalis, the tamarau as Bubalus mindorensis. The Cape Buffalo and the dwarf forest buffalo are different forms of Syncerus caffer
