But unless they are hurt or angered, water buffaloes are probably the gentlest farm animals in the world. Though they look scary, they are much like household pets. Unlike cattle（黄牛）, they are quiet and have a natural fondness for humans.Water buffaloes are so patient and gentle that there is no need to control them during milking. Because of the animals calm nature, water buffaloes almost never have their horns(角) taken off. However, most cattle which are raised for their milk will have their horns taken off, when they are young. It will prevent them from hurting one another when they grow up.Another common wrong idea is that water buffaloes can be raised only near water. Though they love to roll in muddy water, water buffaloes usually live and have babies in situations where there is not enough water to do this. However, several researchers report that water buffaloes who roll in muddy water do not need to be treated with insecticides(杀虫剂) because the mud (烂泥) coating that forms on their skin protects them from insects and parasites(寄生虫).Another untrue belief about water buffaloes is that they can live only in tropical (热带的)areas.
