message: Ouch... info should be added to this article as to why this method is used to control the Carabao, vrs other methods. NoFlyingCars (talk) 17:22, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From what I know, this procedure is done while the animal is still young. It is similar to ear piercing and doberman pinscher ear clipping, and after it has healed, does not cause discomfort to the animal. Nightvisiongoggles (talk) 21:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder if anyone has told the buffalo this?  It is always reassuring to have someone tell you that you are not uncomfortable.  KDS4444 (talk) 02:01, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

message: :From the Water Buffalo article: The classification of the Water Buffalo is uncertain. Some authorities list a single species, Bubalus arnee with two subspecies, the River (B. arnee bubalis) and Swamp (B. arnee carabanesis) Water Buffaloes; others regard them as closely related but separate species. The Swamp Buffalo is primarily mostly found in the eastern half of Asia and has 48 chromosomes. The River Buffalo is mostly found in western half of Asia, and has 50 chromosomes. Fertile offspring occurs between the two. It does not readily hybridise with cattle which have 60 chromosomes.

replies: text: Maybe they don't have to be merged but consider as a sub or closely related species and worth a separate article.  But we could also place a 'See also' link. When I describe the carabao to Japanese here in English, I use the word water buffalo. How many chromosomes do carabaos have?--Jondel 04:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If Swamp Buffalo refers to Carabao, it has 48 chromosomes. --Jojit fb 05:06, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Well, they have the same scientific name... The Carabao article says it's "Bubalus bubalis or sometimes bubalus carabanesis". The Water Buffalo article says water buffalo is sometimes divided into the two subspecies Bubalus bubalis and bubalus carabanesis. All the internet sources I've come up with so far (, , ) suggest they're just two terms for the same animal. Coffee 10:24, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  So is the B.b. carabenesis biological classification an accepted fact or it is still diputed? Is it really considered a subspecies? similar the wolf and the domesticated dog. Jpogi (talk) 01:47, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Taxonomy re: domestic animals 

message: The article states that this species is the "Bubalus bubalis" and exists only in the Philippines and Guam. But the article for "water buffalo" also states that it is Bubalus bubalis and exists all over Asia... Which is it?24.117.62.13 (talk) 19:49, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There are 2 types of domestic water buffalo: the swamp and the river type. Carabao is the swamp type of the Philippines. --BhagyaMani (talk) 09:01, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: "Carabao" and "water buffalo" refer to the same thing. Heck the article even mentions Malaysia, and the term could in fact be attributed to the use of Malay in the Philippines. It was borrowed by English from Spanish which got it from Tagalog or another Philippine language in the 16th century. Myrnamyers (talk) 00:15, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
