Unlike the typical rural sight of buffaloes grazing or soaking in water, these white buffaloes, with pink skin and red-black eyes, stunned visitors with their rarity and gentle nature. Their presence at the Sabah Veterinary Services Department (DVS)'s exhibition booth made it one of the most visited spots at the festival from as early as 7am until the end of the event. Visitors said it was their first time seeing white buffaloes and that the experience was unforgettable, especially for children. Veterinary officer Madsah Laudin explained the buffaloes were bred at the Sabah DVS farm in Telupid, originating from Australian stock in the early 2000s, and are distinct from albinos despite their unique appearance. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
