Some unintelligent people allowed their child into the enclosure to try and pet a baby buffalo (that sounds smart doesn't it?) and mama didn't like it. I don't remember if the mother buffalo bit the kid or not, but the kids parents sued the Villages so that was the end of the buffalo within public view. They moved them on the other side of CR 102 or 103 where you could see them from the Fox Run course at Glen View for a few years. After Mark Morse passed, I think the Morse family sold them off. Sad and pathetic but that's what dumbing down the school curriculum must have contributed to our society.
