K-whyy

Today, I had learned about an animal from a television program. He has four legs. When he matures, he can weight 500-530 kg. His horn is similar to crescent and he has 32 teeth. “32 teeth” I spoke to myself. … “People also have 32 teeth.” I thought. Now, I am going to write about a situation of buffalo or “K-whyy” in Thai.
K-whyy has related with Thai’s life since long time ago. Previously, we used to have six million buffaloes. Then, we had about one million buffaloes left in B.E. 2550. Thus, it is predicted that it will be further dropped in the future.
Higher price of gas era, China imported Thai’s buffaloes to agriculture section instead of using a tractor. Chinese thought Thai’s buffalo is large and strong. This is one reason that Thai’s government trended to turn to take care of a buffalo. Although a buffalo in this time might be not as important as in the past but it still works hard, and does not use any fuel. Especially, it can be an owner’s friend which you might cannot touch this feel from an iron buffalo (tractor).
