Cattle, wildlife: No real conflict?Grazing is about the only way to make a living in this hot, dry land, but livestock and many wild herbivores eat similar vegetation.So here there is an example.

Ganado, vida salvaje: hay conflicto?Comer hierba es lo que se puede hacer para sobrevivir en esta tierra, asi que animales que comen lo mismo se hacen amigos.Aqui un ejemplo

Australian water buffaloes are large swamp and floodplain dwelling hooved and horned plant-eating mammals called bovid herbivores. These introduced animals have adapted so well to the Australian habitat that they are causing considerable damage to sensitive native Australian fauna and flora.

About 80 domesticated water buffalo were brought to the Northern Territory of Australia from Indonesia between 1825 and 1843 to provide draft animals and dairy products for early settlers living in isolated settlements there. When the early settlements failed the domestic buffaloes were set free. The descendants of these freed animals have become feral and are now thriving in the Australian wetlands. In the 1980s it was estimated that there were more than 350,000 feral buffaloes in the Northern Territory.

Australian water buffaloes live in the tropical and subtropical wetlands and floodplains of northern Australia where there is sufficient water for them to wallow in. Wallowing is a vital part of this animal's behaviour.Water buffaloes are herbivores (plant-eaters). They eat aquatic plants, grass and other plant matter, including the bark off trees. During the wet season they graze on the lush aquatic grasses and grass-like wetland plants on the flood plains. Starting at dusk they feed until mid-day and then take a break to wallow in mud until about mid-afternoon when they commence grazing again until dusk. During the dry season they prefer to wallow most of the day and graze on savannah woodlands grasses during the cooler evening and night. Males eat up to 30 kilograms of food each day. The dietary habits of buffaloes are more versatile than cattle because they eat a wider variety of vegetation than cattle and also eat poorer quality feed.

Brahman cattle (raza bovina)The Brahman or Brahma is a breed of Zebu cattle (Bos indicus) that was first bred in United States from cattle breeds imported from India. Brahma cattle were produced by cross-breeding the Kankrej, Ongole, and the Gir (or Gyr) breeds of cattle. The Brahman is one of the most popular breeds of cattle intended for meat processing and is widely used in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, United States, Colombia and Australia among many other places.

La raza de ganado brahman tiene su origen en el ganado cebú llevado originariamente a los Estados Unidos de América proveniente de la India.

Se ha cruzado extensivamente con Bos taurus, el ganado europeo. Ambos son miembros de la familia de los bóvidos.

El brahman se caracteriza por una joroba en su lomo y por sus orejas blandas largas. Los colores más comunes son blanco, gris y rojo. El brahman posee una capacidad notable de adaptación y supervivencia. Puede alimentarse con pastos inadecuados y es muy resistente a pestes de insectos, parásitos, enfermedades y a climas extremos.

El ganado brahman puede desplazarse grandes distancias para obtener agua. El brahman se desarrolla donde otro tipo de ganado apenas pueda sobrevivir.bull, toro, beef cattle,Брахман (порода), Brahman (gado), Brahmane (race bovine)
