Carabaos or kalabaw, is a domestic animal found in the Philippines, Guam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. These animals look like cows and bulls mixed together. They can either be grey or black in color. Both male and female carabaos have huge horns to protect themselves. They don't have sweat glands, so they bathe in mud or water to keep cool. The dried mud also keeps away insects. In the Philippines, they assist farmers in the provinces to plow fields, carry their harvest to the market (palengke) or are simply used for transportation.
DID YOU KNOW that carabaos weigh 700 to 800 kilograms (almost 2,000 pounds)?
