Carabao love water, hence in the water bless Philippine islands carabao feel at home in the many mud holes or water holes. Feeding on wild nature - the carabao needs no maintenance at all unless you want to spoil the one doing all the hard work. Machine farming is almost unknown - good for mother nature - the carabao does the very same in a natural way as a friend to all farmers.
