I saw an Asian water buffalo almost gore Scott Stokely in Cambodia. Fortunately it was on a short rope and when it’s farmer mama came out and slapped it, it calmed down. The thing was probably 3 tons!


Fun fact: in Thailand, a common derogatory term for westerners, or any kind of big, stupid creature, is water buffalo (ควาย khwai).


Malayalam speaker here, പോത്ത് (potthu) for big and/or clumsy people.
