From the site that must not be named. It actually looks like an American Bison. They used to have quite a lot of them near Sumter Landing. We sometimes would take some carrots to feed them back a number of years ago.
There were signs posted that warned people not to feed the buffalo at Lake Sumter. People did feed them. People tried petting them and having their grandkids pet them. The Developer had to get rid of the buffalo after being sued by the rule breakers who got injured by the buffalo.

The animal in the picture is an Asian water buffalo. They belong to a farmer in back of the Alamanda golf course.
