BUFFALO LOVER

The most important way among buffaloes to communicate is by smell. The buffaloes recognize each other by smelling each other. Smell is used when marking a territory. Buffaloes will rub themselves against trees to leave scent and they defecate to mark their territory. Vocal communication is important especially from calves. There are both friendly and hostile vocal communications. Posture is important when deciding rank and dominance order. A threatening animal will lower and shake its head. There is a deal of inter-species understanding, be it through direct vocal communication or merely understanding the signs associated with the other species' communication methods.
