Carabao

• The carabao (Spanish: Carabao; Tagalog: Kalabaw; Cebuano
: Kabaw) is a domestic swamp-type water buffalo (Bubalus
bubalis) native to the Philippines.[1] Carabaos were introduced
to Guam from the Spanish Philippines in the 17th century. They
have acquired great cultural significance to the 
Chamorro people and are considered the unofficial national
animal of Guam.[2] In Malaysia, carabaos (known as kerbau in
Malay) are the official animal of the state of Negeri Sembilan.[3]
