The scientific genus name for the water buffalo and related African buffalo species.
From Latin 'bubalus' (buffalo). This is the formal taxonomic name used by scientists to classify these animals in biological nomenclature.
The scientific name 'Bubalis' covers several dangerous and impressive animals—the Cape buffalo of Africa kills more people than any other African animal, yet the Asian water buffalo (a closely related species) is one of the gentlest domesticated animals humans have ever tamed.
