Plural of bubalises; multiple animals belonging to the genus Bubalis.
From 'bubalis' (the genus name) plus the English plural suffix '-es.' This form is used when referring to more than one animal in the Bubalis genus.
When taxonomists use the plural of a genus name like 'bubalises,' they're actually bending Latin grammar rules into English, which is why scientific naming can be confusing—scientists are constantly negotiating between dead languages and modern English.
