Did not know that the Arnee had been called a Bubalus.

Reports some observations made on the common buffaloes of India seen swimming and diving in 12ft of floodwater in order to crop the herbage beneath.
It is Bos arni which dives for herbage and in so doing it also swallows many freshwater shrimps.
