❤❤❤ Adorable , animals hve ways to communicate just like human beings is not aggresive animals they have voice and reasons
News: this water buffalo is dangerous, stay away!
Not seasoning the chicken people: he seems fairly reasonable to me😅 🤦♂️
I wouldn’t know a water buffalo if he came up and introduced himself. This guy looks so cute and curious like Norman from city slickers. Yes I realize he may look that way but reality may be a completely different story
AI bullshit
He looks more lost than anything
Police should be banned from using the word aggressive as they have no idea what it means.
He looks pretty chill, maybe just a wee bit lost and confused.
I see in another comment he has been rescued and has a home now, and his name is Phil 😂 love it.
My family have had buffaloes for generations now in Pakistan, and since I grew up amongst them, I can assure you that buffalos 🐃 are one of the sweetest and easy to make friends with and are extremely loyal in friendship, so much so that if they like someone, they will not let anyone else milk them except him/her.
That's just a youth.
Give me a break. Always causing drama. There is nothing aggressive about this creature. Quit putting fear into people
Aggressive??! Not a chance
😮 Es un búfalo joven, está buscando a la manada cree está en esa casa. 😁
Pero la casa está linda y olorosa ahí no están.
Ojalá lo atrapen y le den mucho
amor. ❤
He's curious and social. What a good lookn beast he is.
Replay 💯
People really need to stop humanizing animals. Think, how does an animal's mind work? It's probably scared and easily startled. What instincts does a scared animal have? The same as humans, fight or flight. Because it is a prey animal, it is more likely to run away, but with it's massive size, it could definitely hurt someone even if it was not the intention. This can be labeled as "Aggressive," but all it feels is fear, not anger or the want to hurt someone.
If that's "aggressive",
I wonder what the docile ones are like.🤔
He's just wondering about, checking out his surroundings like any other curious animal would do. Not very.. "AgGrEsSiVe".. to me🤷♀️
Appears as if it is asking for someone for food
Maybe the police said "a clean steer" not "steer clear"
Aw .. that baby don't seem aggressive. Lost maybe
He looks about as aggressive as Pee-wee Herman
Regalos de la naturaleza. Para respetar y admirar, claro 🙂🙌❤️
Looks like Phill is NOT aggresive@@😂
He just checkin' the area out….like I'm just lookin' around….nobody needs to panic now😂
It's a baby, maybe one your old. Water buffalo are DOCILE, nothing fearful about them.
Doesn't look aggressive at all
They are warning the people that he is "aggressive", so that people wouldn't approach it and MAKE it aggressive by frightening it.
People are mostly terrifying to other living creatures…
He is less aggressive than my next door neighbor.
