Diet Info
In the wet season (November–April), feral buffalo graze on aquatic grasses and grass like wetland plants. They eat a broader range of foods in the dry season, feeding on grasses, herbs and the leaves of plants like pandanus. In the wet, feral buffalo groups camp overnight in woodland and move out to feed at dawn, with males eating up to 30 kilograms of dry matter each day. They move to the water mid-morning to drink and wallow, returning to graze from mid-afternoon until dusk. In drier times, feral buffalo prefer to graze at night, spending most of the day in wallows to escape biting insects and to stay cool.
