The ubiquitous water buffalo is quite common in Tamilnadu and roams freely even if they are domestic. I have heard people calling lethargic individuals as Erum(ai) Made (Buffalo in tamil).

When i saw a photograph captured by Somesh Nagthan of the Elks at Yellowstone, i knew i would paint it some day. Yesterday after half an hour of sifting through my computer i found it.
