Never thought I would read an article about genetically prefect buffalo.

I mean I envisioned reading stories about sabre tooth tigers, armadillo invasions, exotic parasites.

This made me think of that immortal poem entitled "A Buffalo of Distinction."

I wonder how it came to belong to 4 people. They must all hold a stake in ownership of the company that breeds for hunting game.

I've read that most buffalos have cow genes in them. If this one truly is all buffalo, we can bring the animal back to all of it's glory.

There are mostly beefalo in the wild. I thought that was an advertising gimmick word when I first seen a restaurant advertising Beefalo meat. Turns out that it is a common term.

This is a Cape Buffalo from Africa. The Beefalo is a cross between an American Bison and a regular beef type cow. Not the same thing. I seriously doubt this fella will be hunted.
