In historical times, the wild Asian buffalo ('Bubalus arnee', Kerr 1792) ranged across south and southeast Asia from Mesopotamia to Indo-China. It is currently listed as endangered, with a world population fewer than 4,000, potentially fewer than 200, and it is even possible that no purebred wild animals exist. | Publication Type: | Entry In Reference Work | Source of Publication: | Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology, p. 7694-7697 | Publisher: | Springer | Place of Publication: | New York, United States of America | ISBN: | 9781441904652 9781441904263 |
