we considered carabao(kalabaw)as our national animal though there is no law or decree that
states carabao being our national animal..in my country carabao plays a great role in agriculture.. farmers usually use this animal to work in the field to prepare the soil for planting,it also help in bringing/carrying the crops to be sell in the city...like cow, carabao's milk is also good for human consumption and i remember my family drinking it every morning except me who was originally born not drinking milk of animals(only my mothers milk when i was still a baby).we used to have 3 carabao's and i saw how this animal help us on our living...it sad when one of them need to sacrifice i can still remember when my brother got married and my family decide to sell the female one...leaving the male and the baby carabao with us...its becoming lesser and lesser now and i just hope our government will do something to preserve their life hope no one kills them just for food,for they do great jobs in the fields.and they must be preserve for future generations...

even carabao feel the heat of the steaming weather and enjoying himself in his waterhole didn't even bother to get up and pose for a while to me....by the way,i took this photo in shou shan zoo park in kaohsiung when my niece,a freind and i went there.
