Water Buffalo on Beach, Lantau Island

On a remote beach south of Lantau Island in Hong Kong, a herd of wild buffaloes live happily or sadly.

The water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is a sizeable cloven-hoofed animal commonly raised in Asia. The wild buffaloes mentioned in this article are rewilding groups of domesticated buffaloes.

When there was still agriculture in Hong Kong, local farmers widely used cattle and water buffalo to help plough the land and grow rice. Agriculture and rural areas have also changed dramatically as the economy transitions to industry and finance. In the 1970s, paddy fields were abandoned, the rural population was loss, and many cattle were abandoned and left in a wild state of self-sufficiency.

There are about 1,100 cattle and 120 water buffalo in Hong Kong, distributed in Lantau Island, Sai Kung and the New Territories.
