Bubalus trau

This is a new scientific name that I made up for Swamp Buffaloes. Wikipedia states that water buffaloes were domesticated from the wild water buffalo twice, once 6,300 years ago and the other 3,000-7,000 years ago.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Water_buffalo&oldid=1148009311 It's not clear to me how this split occurred and yet somehow they both share the same species name, Bubalus bubalis. Unless they've interbred and woven their DNA through together this should be two different species lines. Actually, the difference between river buffaloes and swamp buffaloes is so vast that despite being domesticated animals, they even have a different chromosomal count! Apparently swamp buffalo have 48 chromosomes, while river have 50.https://waterbuffaloes.com/Water%20Buffalo%20Types.htmhttps://www.how-to-raise-livestock.com/the-various-types-of-water-buffalo/ These are clearly two different species at this point, and both must be separated and split from Bubalus bubalis, nevermind Bubalus arnee. So I changed this article from being named Bubalus bubalis to domesticus, and then I realized my mistake, and this is now the swamp buffalo article. It's not going to be called "Swamp Buffaloes" because I need you all, when I do eventually get a readership, to understand how stupid these scientists are to keep this name like this. Fuck them. Experts are too swamped to know and do basic stuff, apparently.
== Scientific name ==
In April 2023 when I first made this article I studied and gave it the name of "trau", the Vietnamese name for water buffalo in their language. Several months later, in August of 2023, a study was finally done indicating that they had renamed swamp buffalo to a different species name: Bubalus carabanesis.https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42991-023-00371-6 It seems that they have listened to me, but since their was no attempt to contact me and I was not listed amongst their sources (that I can know of or that I can see) I'm going to keep my species name here the way it was. Since I gave you the idea, why don't you credit me and pay me?
== Breeds ==
The swamp buffalo has several breeds, often listed alongside river buffalo breeds. According to this confused but trying source, some swamp buffalo breeds include the Australian swamp, Assam, Baio, Brazilian carabao, Burmese Shan Kwye, Carabao, and Thai.https://www.nativebreed.org/water-buffalo-breeds/ As mentioned below with the golden variety, there may be some that have different colors besides the most well known black (or dark blue or brown) that they are associated with.
== Culture ==
The swamp buffalo is widely used in southeastern Asia. 
Vietnam 
It is not only the national animal, but it is also the symbol of the farmer.https://vietnamtrips.com/vietnamese-water-buffalo They are portrayed as a loyal, kind, affectionate, hardworking, subservient animal. Like our pigeon, no matter how far it wanders off it always knows where home is. Bubalus trau are used for carrying goods and loads. Unlike European cattle, they are tamer and rideable, and children frequently ride on their necks. They are integral to rice farming in low-tech areas, or areas where the technology cannot be used. They are also eaten. Their manure is used as a fertilizer. Their horn is used to make jewelry. 
It represents the "ox" of the Vietnamese zodiac. 
In Haiphong, Vietnam, on August 9, they hold a bull fighting tournament in dedication to a sea god, as the shape of their horns represents the crescent moon, which is associated with the ocean. The fighting ensures safe voyages for sailors and other sea goers, and the final winner is then sacrificed to the seagod. The golden variety was used to represent the 2003 Southeast Asian Games.
